Feeling inspired by Julie & Julia? Think you have the chops to carve out a place in the world of food writing?
In March 2010, I'll be teaching the online course Food Writing: The Basics through WOW-Womenonwriting.com.
The six-week course includes lectures, writing exercises, and instructor feedback on the basics of food writing (in print and online formats).
Students will complete the class with at least one work suitable for publication. We will explore food writing essentials including: food reporting and research, techniques for developing sources in the food world, resources for covering food news, and conventional forms of food writing.
Cost for the course is an affordable $29 per week.
