A conversation about (food) journalism between Fleur Bainger, Max Brearley and Max Veenhuyzen
What does it take to write about food for a living? What are the skills that every food journalist needs in their toolkit? (Or smartphone, or laptop, or jacket pocket.) How do I become a better writer? And most important of all: how do I get into this food writing caper?
For the November Yes, Chef! on Monday November 24, Lawson Flats is bringing together three veteran WA food journalists to share their thoughts on the above as well as what the (food) media landscape looks and tastes like, circa 2025.
Collectively, Fleur Bainger, Max Brearley and Max Veenhuyzen have survived more than half a century of deadlines, meals and last-minute flights. In short, the trio are well qualified to talk about the craft of writing, the importance of mentors and other aspects of life as pens-for-hire in the west.
You’re invited to join us for the chat – please bring questions for the panel – before heading upstairs to Luis' for supper afterwards and continuing the conversation.
