Next Tuesday night (October 9th) the course I teach on Freelance Food and Travel Writing begins at UBC, as offered by the Writing Centre.
Professor Ira Nadel, shown with me putting all of our eggs in one basket, will be one of my guest lecturers with a wonderful talk on food literature with samples from some of his favourites, including M.F.K. Fisher and Elizabeth David.
I’ll show you how to craft the perfect pitch letter so that your idea stands out to magazine and newspaper editors. There are lessons in food photography, recipe writing and more. For more information or to register, click here or call 604-822-9564.
Food and Feasting: Ira and I will also discuss feasting in literature and history next Wednesday night. The illustrated talk and discussion will draw from my recent study of culinary arts in Italy. UBC Robson Square (800 Robson St), Oct. 10th, 6 pm, Info: 604.822.5812. Free, all welcome.
