Education, Connection, and Resources for Food Writers by Food Writers
Hello. I’m Rebecca Blackwell, a food writer with two recipe websites and a Substack newsletter. I started this group in January of 2025 as a way to link arms with fellow food writers and deepen the community of support.
I actually do believe that a rising tide lifts all boats and thought that a monthly mastermind meeting would be a great way to create more opportunities for growth through collaboration and learning. The experience has been better than I could have ever imagined.
The food writers that have shown up to these meetings are among the most generous, competent, intelligent, kindhearted people I’ve ever known.
There are two meetings every month to accommodate the fact that we are scattered all over the world. Find the date and time that works best for you or join them both!
Meetings are usually on Wednesdays and last 90 minutes.
They are held on Zoom and recorded for anyone who isn’t able to make it.
All you have to do to attend is subscribe, then watch your in-box for the monthly meeting invite.
