Write For Us – Become a Contributor

Got a story, a strong opinion, or an honest take you can’t stop thinking about? Belle Barri is always looking for fresh voices to add to the mix.

We’re a Dubai-rooted lifestyle blog built on one simple rule: Barri Honest. Belle Approved. No fluff, no filler, no sponsored spin dressed up as an opinion – just real experiences, real reviews, and real perspectives on the things people actually care about. If that sounds like the way you write, we’d love to hear from you.

Whether you’re a seasoned writer or someone who’s simply never sent a “hot take” to voicemail, this is your chance to get published, get read, and get credited for it.

What We’re Looking For

We want contributors who write the way they’d talk to a friend – clear, honest, and a little opinionated. Think first-hand experiences, well-researched guides, and takes that go beyond “10 best things to do in Dubai.” If you’ve tested it, lived it, or have something genuinely useful to say about it, we want to read it.

Guidelines on Publishing

Before you submit, please make sure your pitch or article follows these ground rules:

  • Structure – Articles should be well-organised with a clear introduction, subheadings, and a conclusion. Break up long paragraphs and make it easy to skim.
  • Word limit – Articles should be between 800-1,500 words. Quality over quantity always wins.
  • Non-AI content – All submissions must be written by a human, in your own voice. AI-generated or AI-spun content will not be accepted.
  • Unpublished blogs only – We only accept original, unpublished content. Please don’t submit anything that’s already live elsewhere on the web.
  • Republishing rights – By submitting, you agree that Belle Barri reserves the right to edit, republish, or repurpose your content across our site and channels.
  • Ready-to-publish state – Submissions should be final drafts: proofread, fact-checked, and free of typos or broken links. We may lightly edit for style and clarity, but the heavy lifting should already be done.

Topics We Cover

We’re currently accepting pitches and articles across the following categories:

  • Fashion
  • Food & Dining

Content to Avoid

To keep our readers’ trust, we don’t accept:

  • Promotional or advertorial content
  • Press releases or sales pitches

If your piece reads like an ad, it’s not for us – no matter how well it’s written.

  • Credit for your work – Every published piece includes an author bio and a backlink to your website or social media.
  • One hyperlink per article – You get one contextual, do-follow hyperlink of your choice within the body of your article.
