Have a story only a Greek girl could tell? We want to hear it.
Maybe you grew up between two cultures. Maybe you’ve perfected your mom’s recipe—with a few changes she doesn’t need to know about. Or maybe you have thoughts on Greek dating (or dating Greek men LOL) that deserve an entire article.
Kouklamou welcomes fresh voices, personal stories and perspectives on being a Greek girl today, in Greece or anywhere else in the world.
Stories we love
What we’re looking for
Personal, specific and unmistakably yours. Tell us something that makes another Greek girl say, “Oh wow, I definitely relate.”
Personal stories
Growing up Greek, life abroad, moving to Greece, identity and belonging.
Beauty and style
Greek brands, family beauty rituals, favourite finds and personal recommendations.
Food
Family recipes, memories around the table and the dishes you keep coming back to.
Culture and traditions
Language, celebrations, customs and how we carry them into modern life.
Love, family and friendships
Dating, expectations, relationships and all the unsolicited advice.
Humour
Funny, relatable lists and observations that make us say, “My family does that too.”
Have an idea that doesn’t fit neatly into these categories? Pitch it anyway.
First-time writers welcome
You don’t need to be a professional writer
You need a story, a point of view and something you’re excited to share.
We’re looking for writing that feels like a real person talking—warm, honest, funny or thoughtful, depending on the story.
Send us your idea
How to pitch
Email hello@kouklamou.com with “Pitch: [your story idea]” in the subject line.
- A short pitch of three or four sentences explaining your idea and the angle you’d take.
- A line or two about yourself and your connection to the story.
- Links to anything you’ve written, if you have them. No published work yet? That’s okay.
You don’t need to send a finished article. Start with the idea.
We’d love to hear your side of the story. ♡Pitch Kouklamou
