Will Write for Food
The Complete Guide to Writing Restaurant Reviews,
Cookbooks, Recipes, Stories and More


If you are a food lover who wants to express yourself, this book will guide you from your earliest creative impulses to successful articles, restaurant reviews and cookbooks. Interviews with award-winning writers such as Jeffrey Steingarten, Calvin Trillin, Molly O’Neill and Deborah Madison, plus well-known food editors and literary agents, fill out a portrait of how to write what magazines and book publishers want, giving you the background you need to get started and the confidence follow through.

You'll find comprehensive yet accessible chapters ranging from restaurant reviewing to cookbooks to memoir. Focused exercises at the end of chapters stimulate creativity and help organize thought, building practical skills. Will Write for Food is the first and conclusive guidebook to the incredibly popular world of food writing.
