Classes at University of Victoria I'm already preparing for a busy winter of teaching which begins in mid-January with an exciting class at the University of Victoria called 'Pick and Choose: Navigating Your Way to the Greenest Food Choices'. That course will be followed by two others, 'Ethnic Cuisines: How World Cuisines Survive and Thrive in Canada', and 'Exploring Local Foods'. I'm very excited about these courses, and they're offered at very reasonable prices so think about them as great Christmas gifts!

Classes at University of British Columbia My popular food and travel writing courses are also ready to roll at UBC in the new year. If you can't make it to the UBC campus, no problem, the course is offered online as well. By the end of the 8-week session you'll know how to construct a creative query letter that will sell your idea to a publication, and have an edited version of your full-length story. Learn how to do what I do! Click here for more information or to register.
