If you ever dreamed of making it as a food writer, but wondered how you were going to afford those pricey $500 to $2000 courses to learn the basics, never fear!
For the last 8 years I have been guiding, coaching and nudging writers into a successful AND fulfilling food writer life.
This year I took a step back and decided to take some time off teaching individuals food writing but I still wanted to help others make their dream a reality so I've put together nearly 90 pages of tightly focused writing and food writing tips and inspirations. There are assignments that, if followed, will help you to find the magazines and newspapers that WANT your work, and will lead you to create your own voice, develop recipes that sell, burst into reviewing restaurants and push you up on that stage (real or metaphorical) where you will get noticed!
This self-guided course covers writing articles, query letters, columns, restaurant reviews, recipes and cookbooks. It also talks about legal and financial issues that are of paramount interest to food writers.
But the best part is that I am only asking $40 for this course. The value may be far greater but I want anyone who needs this guide to have it.
So the cost is low. But the investment in YOUR time and YOUR effort will be huge…and it will pay off. Read this guide to your future. Practice writing the articles and column pitches. Research magazines as this course directs and you will find the perfect match between your work and what your dream editor NEEDS.
Need more incentive?
I personally guarantee all my courses. If you do not believe this course is what you expected, please email me within 60 days and I will unconditionally refund your purchase price in its entirety.
You have nothing to lose, and as they say….EVERYTHING to gain when it comes to creating the food writing life and career you want!

Lesson TWO: Writing the Recipe and Recipe Development
Think writing a recipe is easy? Well, it is, but only after you learn, understand and follow the accepted format WITHOUT FAIL! (included in this lesson!)
Also included:
Recipe copyright info, something many food writers are still confused about. You won’t make the same mistakes after you read this chapter of Eat, Drink and Make Money.
“I have a wonderful cookbook - "The Home Queen Cookbook" - that is packed with recipes submitted by the wives of governors, senators, famous businessmen, and other notables. This book was published in the late 1800's, after Fannie Merritt Farmer's Boston Cooking School cookbook was published, but those fine home queens' submissions are less than standard in their presentation.
“Sponge Cake - 'Ten eggs, weight of 8 in sugar and four in flour, flavor with lemon, add a pinch of salt.' That is the entire recipe and while seasoned cooks might be able to understand what is meant, and professional chefs sympathetic to the simple notes made for
memory's sake, new cooks would be stumped by this listing of ingredients.
“Write simply, but not as simply as the Home Queens did. Remember that omissions or mistakes are disastrous to the cook using your recipe, and will also hurt your reputation with editors. Think about how you felt the first time a "friend" shared a fantastic recipe with you but left out one or two of the ingredients so your version would never be as good as hers or his. If you've never been the victim of a recipe-otomy then your friends are true. If you have, you have my sympathy.”
Read about:
♦ Clever ways to uncover ideas for recipes
♦ Food safety issues
♦ Food science
♦ Ways to make your recipes irresistible to editors (hint: offer extras to your readers in terms of tips, substitutions, detailed preparation instruction. Become the new or experienced cook’s new best friend.)
Cookbooks sell like, well, like hotcakes to cooks of all ages. Let Lesson 2 guide you through the process of choosing your FIRST (but not last) cookbook idea.
Also included here are insider tips on finding:
♦ Your competition and how to outmaneuver them
♦ Your first agent
♦ Your first publisher
I include cheat sheets on what you must (or really should) include in your recipes.
Learn how to check out publishers and printers without hiring a private detective!
Study the brief outline on what to include in your cookbook proposals.
Lesson THREE: Query Letters
“How fast is your query letter going to get tossed in the trash? Imagine an editor opening hundreds of queries each week. Will that editor stop at your first sentence, at the first misspelled word, or will your letter or pitch be one of the winners that captures the editor's attention?
“If you want to be successful in selling your writing, recognize that you have stiff competition and need to make your query letter sell your article idea and you at the same time."
Read about:
♦ 10 steps you must take prior to sending out queries!
♦ How to research magazine markets
♦ Understanding copyright laws
♦ Knowing the truth about what rights you can sell to publishers.
Tired of tossing out dozens of unfocused, panic-written query letters and crossing your fingers for a positive response? Once upon a time, I was doing just that. Now, I take my time (sometimes as much as three weeks) to research and craft the query. Lesson 3 is where I share my hard-earned knowledge about selling articles with properly researched and written query letters (and emails) so you can leapfrog over other struggling writers and find success IMMEDIATELY.
Lesson FOUR: Travel and Food Writing
Expand your range of markets to write for by combining more than one niche into one grand lifestyle. If you travel, use your experiences to enrich all your writing. It’s all covered in this chapter.
“Travel and Food: the perfect couple. Food writer or travel writer? What the heck, go ahead and combine the two. Whether you travel on business or take advantage of special air fares and cruise deals, you can turn your own explorations into income from your food writing. As we continue to grow into a global village, more readers are hungry for articles on ethnic specialties and the places they come from.”
But that’s not all there is. I have included special updates on:
♦ Photography
♦ Food Styling
♦ Organizing your writing ideas
♦ Ways to create and sell a food column idea (with syndication tips)
I even bribed my husband, a newspaper man with ink coursing through his veins (bringing over 30 years of experience to the table) to share his deep-inside-the-rapidly-changing-news-biz insights on selling to newspapers.
Lesson FIVE: Food Essays, Food Science, Nutrition Writing
More information on ways to build a wonderful life writing about food and what it means to us emotionally, for our well-being, and ways to make it all better.
Lesson SIX: Restaurant Reviews
I saved the best for last; you’ve just got to try it. It is the most amazing job you will ever have. I show you how to:
♦ Find openings
♦ Create openings
♦ Connect with and WOW food journalists and editors
♦ Understand and implement the ethics of restaurant reviewing
♦ Gather and use the tools you’ll need
♦ Remain anonymous
EAT, DRINK AND MAKE MONEY doesn’t end there.
I couldn’t fit all the information I wanted you to have into just six lessons so I added several sections, including:
♦ Loads of links to rev up your research
♦ Recommended reading
♦ Lists of ideas to jazz up you creating thinking
♦ Bonus info on interviewing subjects for your writing
♦ How to organize for the business of being a writer
♦ Ways to craft your business plan
♦ Tax tips for writers
♦ Time management guidance
♦ Networking with others in the food and writing arena
♦ Pitching a TV show
♦ Secrets to gaining expert status
♦ Public relations for food writers
AND THAT’S STILL NOT ALL YOU GET
I wanted to provide you with added inspiration AND sharply focused guidance so I made three recordings that will take you beyond than the ebook:
Topics covered:
10 WAYS TO BREAK INTO FOOD WRITING
RESTAURANT REVIEWS DO’S AND DON’TS
WRITING BOOK PROPOSALS FOR NON-FICTION WORKS AND COOKBOOKS
The links to the recordings are provided on the last page of the EAT, DRINK AND MAKE MONEY: ALL ABOUT FOOD WRITING EBOOK/SELF-GUIDED COURSE.

I know you are. To order this ebook, with all its focused food writing information, advice on breaking in and breaking through, and all the bonus information included (plus three great recordings), order now.
