Write for us
EventPlans.ca is built from the experience of people who plan, host, cater, perform at and manage events in the GTA. If you have learned something the hard way, we would like to help you share it.
Topics we want
- Practical how-tos on a single task, such as reading a banquet event order or building a seating plan.
- Explainers on Ontario and GTA rules as they play out in practice: liquor permits, tents, noise, accessibility, privacy.
- Interviews with venue managers, vendors and performers about how they work with planners.
- Guides for particular event types and communities across the GTA.
Style
Write the way you would explain something to a capable colleague. Plain, concrete and warm. Short paragraphs. Canadian spelling. Lead with the answer, then the detail. Use real numbers where you have them and label estimates as estimates. Skip the hype and the filler introductions.
Fact-checking
Every piece is edited and fact-checked before it is published. Please include sources for any rule, fee or figure you cite, preferably the issuing body itself. If we cannot confirm a claim, we will ask you to support it, soften it or remove it. Pieces follow our editorial policy.
Disclosure
Tell us about any business relationship with a company, venue or product you mention, including your own business. Disclosures are published with the piece. You are welcome to mention your own work where it is relevant, but the article must be useful to a reader who never hires you.
No paid links
We do not accept payment for links, and we do not publish articles written mainly to place a link. Pitches from link sellers or agencies placing promotional content will not get a reply.
How to pitch
Send a short outline with your working title, the reader you are writing for, the main points, and a line about your experience. Original work only, please. We do not republish pieces that have already appeared elsewhere, and work generated mainly by AI tools will not be accepted; your experience is the point.
What happens after you pitch
If the idea fits, we will agree on scope and length with you before you write the full piece. An editor will work with you on structure and clarity, check facts and sources, and send you the edited version before it is published. You keep the right to mention that you wrote it, and we link your byline to your profile.
If the idea does not fit right now, we will tell you, and often suggest an angle that would.
What we want
- Specific: real numbers, real venues, real mistakes.
- Canadian: Ontario rules, GTA prices, our seasons.
- Useful: every piece ends with a next step.
What we pay
A byline, a profile link, and $150–$400 per accepted piece depending on length and original research.
