In Person, Live-streamed, and Recorded
When people think about food and writing, they likely think of nonfiction, such as food memoirs, critical essays, and cookbooks. But the seemingly mundane act of eating can add so many layers to your story when done well. Just like sex scenes and fight scenes, eating scenes are a way to move along the plot, incorporate sensory detail, develop the world, and tell you more about the characters and their relationships–with food, with themselves, and with the people around them. Join culinary cozy mystery author Mia P. Manansala as she goes over the hows and whys to incorporate food in your fiction using examples and writing prompts.
