In this highly participatory workshop, you will develop your identity as a food and drink writer. From food blogs to cookbooks to features journalism and even scenes in fiction, the world of food and drink writing is a rich place to explore in any genre or form. This workshop will delve into the various categories of food/drink writing, relying on the instructor's ten years of writing, editing, and publishing food and drink stories as well as a full-length nonfiction book.
Rachel Signer will guide you to read and discuss contemporary works of food and drink writing that show the diversity of voices, topics, and venues available to us, always thinking about each writer's motives, choices, and circumstances. Since food and drink writing has practical, commercial factors to consider, we will delve into the practice of pitching publications as well as the realities of writing about food and drink for a living. We will also discuss the publishing climate for cookbooks, memoirs, zines, and more.
Rachel Signer is the founder and publisher of Pipette Magazine, an independent print magazine about natural wine, and the author of the book You Had Me At Pét-Nat: A Natural Wine-Soaked Memoir, which the New York Times called, an inviting coming-of-age story that, though it takes place in a world of back-to-the-earth farming, speaks to the universal yearning of anybody trying to find herself. Signer's writing about natural wine has appeared in numerous publications both online and in print, including VICE, Vogue, and Wine Enthusiast.
Located at Morgan Thomas Room, 1st Floor Institute Building – State Library of South Australia, North Terrace, Adelaide, this event will be held on Sunday, 16 February 2025, starting from 10 am to 1 pm. Book here , $110 per person.
