The Art of Food Writing is a course designed to take your thoughts, musings, insights, and experiences with food and translate them into marketable works for print. This course is for cooks, food aficionados, students, journalists and authors who would like to learn more about writing on food. Plus, you'll get the "inside scoop" on how to submit a story proposal, how to navigate a contract, how to work with a ghostwriter and other industry tips.

The six-week course begins on January 24th, 2008 and will be held each Thursday from 7:00 to 9:00 PM through February 28th, with the exception of a Wednesday class, February 13th.  Classes will be held at Diane’s home, in the Eastmoreland section of Portland.  Highlights of the course include a detailed examination of how to write a recipe, the process of creating a great story or book idea and the research skills involved in developing that idea, writing book proposals, pitching story ideas to newspapers and magazines, finding an agent, and connecting to professional organizations.
