Food Writing Course with Lulu Grimes

This 8 week course is for all those wanting to explore the world of food journalism or to learn to write clear, professional recipes.

The course is run by Lulu Grimes, former Leiths Diploma student, Food Director for olive and BBC Good Food Magazine and author of numerous cookbooks.

She and her special guest lecturers will guide you through the language of recipe writing, writing restaurant reviews and food and travel journalism. You will also cover how to approach an editor and get your work published.

Every week you will write alone or in groups while you learn how to bring your writing to a professional standard.

Lulu adds: “Food writing is increasingly popular, and these days the chance to write about something you love is open to all (though not necessarily for financial gain!). I’ve always thought that there are plenty of good writers who know about food, but that what they fail to do is understand who their reader is, and where their market lies. Whether you want to write a personal blog, a book or recipes or features for magazines, papers and websites it is vital to understand your audience. This is what I love to teach, how to best use your talents.”

Please note this class will finish on Monday the 18th of June as there will be no class on the 7th May or 4th June.
