An Introduction to Food Writing with Dianne Jacob

Food writing crosses many genres and mediums.

It can be a recipe for Korean pancakes, a memory of a grandmother’s dish, an instructional book on healthy eating, or a magazine piece about the food markets of Mexico. It crosses into memoir, instruction, history, travel writing — just to name a few forms. In this introductory class, students will learn about the main kinds of food writing: cookbooks and recipe writing, food blogs, articles for magazines and websites, and writing for social media. We’ll also discuss how food bloggers and Instagrammers make an income, sometimes in the six figures.

During this session, Dianne Jacob, instructor and author of Will Write for Food, will lead participants in:

• Evaluating your existing skills
• Writing a short piece about food

This class will be recorded for later viewing by patrons.
