Hi,

Looking for a contact at Gourmet.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks.

for what exactly?

I'd like to expand something I did for the NYTimes Magazine

So looking for an editor to talk to.

Thanks.

Jocelyn Zuckerman is the one to pitch, unless it's FOB.

You don't think double dipping like that will turn the gourmet editor off? No judgement just asking.

I once nabbed a feature assignment with Gourmet after sending them something I did for the local paper on the same topic. Sadly, the story was killed in the end. (I got a hefty kill fee, and it will now be appearing in a competing food magazine!)

Snuffle, I'm curious: did you pitch them the feature cold, did you know someone there or did you do FOB assignments for them first?

Thanks.

I pitched them cold and was told it was a rare coup for an unknown writer. But again they killed it in the end.
