Online Workshop: Food Writing Workshop with Marissa Rothkopf Bates – TAPinto.net

This 90-minute interactive class will help you hone your food writing skills, whether you’re working on fiction or non-fiction, want to write a blog or cookbook, or just create better Yelp reviews. We’ll discuss what makes copy stand out, and look at how your voice, storytelling and reporting makes a good food story. We’ll explore techniques for writing engaging, thoughtful copy through reading, speed-writing prompts, and yes, eating. We’ll also review how to write a solid recipe. 

The workshop will take place via Zoom. Cost is $25 for 1.5 hours. Register here. A Zoom link will be sent via email after registration.
