Coming Soon! The Food Writers Business Lab!
The Food Writers Business Lab is an online learning hub created specifically for food writers who want practical, affordable support for growing their businesses and expanding their reach.
This collaboration between Mastermind for Food Writers and Write Up! offers classes and workshops for food writers, taught by food writers. Because who understands this expansive, ever-changing industry better than the talented, hard-working professionals who built it?
Through a mix of free introductory classes and in-depth paid workshops, The Food Writers Business Lab provides content-rich, highly actionable education designed to help participants immediately apply what they learn to their own work.
We are working out the kinks and getting the first set of classes scheduled as we speak! More information about The Food Writers Business Lab coming soon!
