Whether you're brand new to journalism and are trying to launch a career, or just have an interest in food writing as a hobby, this is the class for you.

We will cover:

  • How to develop a story idea
  • The different types of food features to pitch
  • How to pitch: what to say, how to position yourself, drafting, emailing, protocol and more
  • Who are the key PR folks to know
