Mediabistro Presents ‘From Foodie to Food-Writer: How to Break into Culinary Journalism’

Planning on going out to dinner tomorrow night? DON’T. Because if you go out to dinner, you eat dinner for a night. But if you are taught how to get paid to write about going out to dinner, you eat dinner for a lifetime, often on an expense account.

So I urge you to spend your evening tomorrow at this panel, about the ins and outs of culinary journalism, offered by FishbowlLA sponsor mediabistro. Speakers will include Leslie Brenner (food editor, LAT), Laurie Buckle (ME, Bon Appetit), Monica Gullon (senior editor, Shape) and Norman Kolpas, who ghostwrites for Wolfgang Puck. And there will be cocktails afterward! Come for the useful information, stay for the drinks. Then, stay even longer, for more drinks. Then, hail a cab, because you shouldn’t drive home in that condition.

Join Baratunde Thurston (left), The Onion’s Director of Digital and author of How to Be Black, for an entertaining look at creative social media campaigns in our Social Media Marketing Boot Camp starting this Thursday, February 16. Other speakers include Morin Oluwole (Facebook), Michael Brito (Edelman Digital), and Tim Devane (bitly). Register now.
