Food Memoir 101: How to Find Your Niche and Write with Purpose
Event Information
About this Event
You love the work of Anthony Bourdain, Nigella Lawson and Ruth Reichl, but don’t know where your work fits in. People often tell you they love your food experiences, but you’re not sure how to turn that into a book. Or you have a stack of food memoirs and cookbooks you love to read and use, but feel overwhelmed with writing a book because you’re not an expert.
Here’s the good news: You don’t have to be.
What if you were given the space to discover the kind of food writer you are, instead of who you think you should be?
What if the issue isn’t that you don’t have a good idea for a food memoir, but you have too many?
What if you were able to tap into your unique strengths to craft a narrative that could only be told by you?
In this 2 hour live Zoom class, you'll be coached through:
- 3 mistakes most writers make when writing food memoirs
- The difference between what you like to read and what you’re meant to write
- A framework to identify your “secret sauce” AKA your niche
- 4 simple steps to discover your next book idea
You’ll also receive a PDF to work through the process on your own, along with a limited video replay.
It’s time to make your food memoir a reality and tap into your one-of-a-kind voice. Let’s get started.
