Sixth Sense Food Writing:
Food Writing Workshop

Time: 7 - 9 pm
Instructor: Molly Watson
Ages: Adult
Genre: Food Writing/Nonfiction

Good food writing is what all good writing is: vivid, honest, compelling. The seeming narrowness of the topic can lead people to focus on function and forsake style, without realizing the two can work hand-in-glove.
In this course we’ll explore a range of techniques for making your food
writing sing, no matter which form—cookbook, essay, news story, restaurant review, novel—it takes. Each week will focus on a sense, ways to use it in food writing, discuss related writing types, and cover genre-specific techniques. Weekly take-home assignments are designed for great flexibility of schedules and student goals.
Molly Watson is the editor-in-chief at Edible Communities. She’s written two cookbooks for Chronicle Books and a forthcoming book, Should We All Be Vegan?, for Thames & Hudson.
