This is an excellent book which highlights all the steps you need to take to be a food writer, including restaurant reviewer, magazine writer, or cookbook author. There's lot of helpful tips and interviews with those 'in the field'. As far as I know, this is the only book on the subject and I highly recommend it for anyone interested in pursuing a career in food writing (or merely interested in what goes into writing a cookbook or restaurant review!). Great book and much-needed resource.

I have been looking for a guide that would help fulfill my ambitions in food writing, and Will Write For Food did exactly what it promised. All at once engaging, encouraging and still realistic, it shows readers that while food writing is a difficult field with many different twists and nuances, it is possible to succeed.
Will Write For Food not only encourages it's readers to seek out the food-writing opportunities around them, but also to branch out and immerse themselves in conferences, books, and classes that will help them in their careers.
The book is effectively exhaustive (but not exhausting in the least - including reviewing, cookbook writing, recipe writing and fiction - as well as non-fiction memoir. It was so relevant! The exercises at the end of the book were fabulous and force the reader to immediately implement their new knowledge.
This is a great read for anyone looking for an interesting, fun, and informative guide to one of the most promising careers for interested writers today.
