Produktbeschreibungen
From Booklist
Food writing so often appears an enviable profession to the outside world. Jacob casts a cold light of reality on just how difficult making a living in the world of culinary journalism can be. For those yet undaunted by the challenges presented, she provides a practical guide for getting published as a cookbook author, restaurant reviewer, or food magazine writer. She begins with advice applicable to any professional wordsmith: the critical importance of research, fitting an article to a publication's needs, working with editors, and the like. She provides sound direction for those aspiring to restaurant criticism, a job many romanticize but for which very few have the requisite stamina, talent, and discipline. Addressing the sensitive area of remuneration for the writer's efforts, Jacob honestly confronts the role of competition and of limited publication budgets. Her observations and instructions on matters of writing style would well serve writers of all sorts. To make her points, Jacob records advice and guidance from a host of successful food writers and editors. Mark Knoblauch

Pressestimmen
Epicurious.com, 8/3/10
"Should be mandatory reading for everyone who aspires to be a food writer. No matter the format, medium, or style, Jacob has it covered. . . . You'll find important and helpful advice for anyone interested in blogging, creating recipes, writing a food memoir, or shooting food porn. There are also "Writing Exercises" to help you hone your skills. . . . Probably the best part of the book is that she turns to seasoned and respected professionals for advice, names you'd recognize in a heartbeat: Michael Bauer, David Lebovitz, Judith Jones, Adam Roberts, Deborah Madison, and Dorie Greenspan--just to name a few. Yes, it can seem like the world of food writing is an overcrowded one and Jacob's upfront and honest account can be a little unnerving for the faint of heart: It's not as glamorous as it seems, timing and luck do play a part, and the money doesn't always follow. But if knowledge is key, "Will Write for Food" can help open the coveted door."
"Bookviews", September 2010
"It is filled with good advice about the various genres of food writing. I have been a professional writer for decades so I can confirm that this is the real deal...It is an essential tool for every foodie hoping to put pen to page.""Library Journal", October 2010"A delicious guide to the world of food writing...An engaging, informative handbook for hobbyists and aspiring professionals. Worth purchasing even if you have the first edition."
Bibliobuffet.com, 9/27/10"An excellent manual. It puts food writing into perspective and I rather suspect it will help raise the standards of the genre." FamilyFriendlyFood.com, 10/17/10"This is an amazing book--a must read to all aspiring food writers and bloggers...[A] very comprehensive guidebook to the world of food writing." "San Francisco Book Review", 11/9/10
"Part instructional, part inspirational manual, "Will Write for Food" gives writers--both novice and skilled--thorough information about how to get started

Kennen Sie die Rückseiten von diversen Magazinen, auf denen Ihnen Schreibkurse angeboten werden, die Sie innerhalb kürzester Zeit zum Bestsellerautor machen würden?
Vergessen sie all diese Anzeigen und "Schreibkurse" und kaufen Sie dieses Buch, ganz gleich, ob sie ein Buch schreiben wollen, das im entferntesten mit Nahrung oder Kochen zu tun hat, oder ob Sie einfach Schreiben lernen und hart üben möchten - egal welches Genre.
Das Buch ist genial, treffend und wunderbar geschrieben, so daß man ab und an vergißt, ein Sachbuch in der Hand zu halten. Allein der im Kapitel 1 enthaltene Exkurs über "Voice" (Bezeichnung für die jedem Autor eigene Ausdrucksweise, die ihn unverwechselbar macht), war den vollen Buchpreis wert.
Dies ist eines der wenigen Bücher, die ich als Arbeitsbuch verwendet habe und das durchgängig mit Post-It's und Textmarker malträtiert wurde - was mir noch viel mehr Freude an der Lektüre verliehen hat.
Die an jedes Kapitel angefügten "Writing Exercises" gleichen einem wunderbaren Lehrer, der fähig ist, dem Schüler neuen Tiefgang zu entlocken. Manche der "Writing Exercises" können einen zur Verzweiflung treiben, weil sie - bei entsprechendem Anspruch - harte Arbeit sind. Dies lohnt sich aber.
Das Englisch ist auch für Nicht-Native-Speaker verständlich und leicht übertragbar.
Fazit: Kaufen, Lesen, Schreiben...

DELICIOUS INTRODUCTION TO THE ART OF FOOD WRITING
29. August 2005
Format:Taschenbuch
What is food writing? Before I read Jacob's book, I thought I might learn a few techniques for writing restaurant reviews. Wow -- I was wrong! This is a huge, magnificent field, of which I've merely sampled my first appetizer.
The author's research in compiling this book is extensive. In presenting her ideas, she doesn't limit readers to her own personal experience; she interviewed hundreds of successful food writers and asked them how they got started, what a typical day is like, and what advice they have to give.
Despite her years of industry experience, Jacob truly understands the heart of a beginner, and her voice is as far from snooty-hooty as one can be. Readers will feel encouraged and energized after reading chapters on the secrets of restaurant reviewing, cookbook compiling, recipe writing (yes, it is an art form!), memoir and nonfiction food writing, and food in fiction.
Jacob's passion is so contagious, her words dance across the page. She seems especially interested in the trend of narrative food writing, and she gives you tips on how to make your writing full of jolt and flavor. What are the three laziest adjectives used to describe food? She says "nice," "wonderful," and "delicious." She writes, "They are so vague that readers don't know what you mean other than something positive." Instead, she offers an extensive list of adjectives in chapter 5 that make it well worth the price of the book.
I'm only a simple home cook. My creativity usually involves whipping up kid-friendly favorites without having to dash off to the grocery store for exotic ingredients. Although I've written a few of my own recipes, I certainly didn't realize what an exciting art form food writing can be.
While reading this book, we ate out at a new restaurant, and I imagined myself as one of those fancy New York Times reviewers in disguise (didn't know they may actually wear wigs!). I had our waiter answering a myriad of questions, and even dashing back to speak with the chef. I brought home a menu and scribbled all over it my impressions.
I'm intrigued as to how to better describe tastes and food. And I never considered children's books to be a place where good food writing can exist. After reading WILL WRITE FOR FOOD, I am much more aware. I appreciate the recommendation from Writer's Digest and will certainly add this to my bookshelf of favorites.
I love the way she describes what it takes to make a great reviewer: [They] have passion, knowledge, authority, a great writing style, and stamina...They give the reader a feel for the place, its rhythm, and overall vibe. And they keep up their energy level and enthusiasm. Passion is paramount."
She quotes experienced food critic Alan Richman who says he can't wait to see what a restaurant has in store for him. He shares, "I get a hop in my step."
A well done book, indeed.

Great resource for foods writers
19. April 2005
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
This is a great book about food writing. It has advice on writing cookbooks, restaurant reviews, articles, memoirs and fiction. Although I have written several cookbooks and many food-related articles, the excellent advice in this book will make my future books and articles even better. I also got ideas for new markets for my writing.
One other thing I loved about this book were the quotes from food writers and exerpts from books. I now have a huge list of books I want to read.
"Will Write for Food" is a book I will definitely refer to again and again.

FINALLY!
21. April 2005
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I can't believe no one came out with a book like this sooner. Thank you Diane Jacob. Finally a book that deals with the actual writing about food. I have read many books on how to publish magazine articles etc... but none of them deal with the actual style in which you write. I even attended a food writing workshop and to my dissapointment we barely touched on improving our writing skills. We were told "it can't be taught".
