Looking for a seasoned food writer or recipe developer? My extensive food writing career ranges from writing cookbooks, to writing trend articles for industry and consumer outlets, to developing recipes for consumer publications, high-profile websites and top corporate brands.
Beyond the food world, my writing and reporting expertise includes lifestyle topics such as environmental issues, home furnishings, design, housewares, travel, homekeeping, fashion and more. My work has appeared online and in many consumer and trade publications.
For corporate clients, I have written custom content, recipe booklets, newsletters, brochures and press releases, and I offer editing and proofreading services.
I am based in Atlanta, but my clients are across the country.
Additional skills and experience: Recipe editing and formatting, calculating nutritional value for recipes, product reviews, custom content, blogging, restaurant reviews/descriptions, and cooking demos and classes. |
