Symposium at the Greenbrier
2010 promises to have some quality symposiums, conferences and contests...
About the Food Writers Symposium
The 20th Symposium for Professional Food Writers will take place September 12-16, 2010 at The Greenbrier in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia. Thanksgiving is looming in the not too distant future, with all the discussions family and friends will share over this festive holiday regarding 'the writer in the family' planning ahead may be just the ticket. You already know you should write that Thanksgiving Recipe bestseller and the series of editorials on holiday foods that reference Uncle Joe and Aunt Molly's edible treats from this season, so you just might want to jot this symposium down in your scheduler while relaxing over the holiday. This is a 'good to attend,' if not a 'must attend' for food writers.
Speakers and participants remain over the days, allowing ultimate interaction among authors of food and cookbooks, recipe developers, ghost writers, journalists and bloggers, as well as major magazine writers, newspaper food editors, renowned cookbook authors, literary agents, publishers, writing and other coaches and more.
Why is the Symposium revered?
Known as, “the granddaddy of all food writing conferences in the English language,” this multi-day program is excellent for kick-starting books, as well as networking with high-level professionals in the field. Since this symposium was launched, hundreds of books and thousands of articles, blogs, columns as well as TV and radio food shows have burst into life as result of the coaching and mentoring offered during the Symposium.
Is this conference for YOU?
Registration is open to all editorial writers, bloggers, editors, publishers and producers who work within the world of food interest. So, basically, if you take pen to paper, keyboard to computer or even tap twitter about food, you need to join this lively group of talented writers to move ahead in the field.

The Symposium for Professional Food Writers has been a resource for professional writers and editors since its inception in 1989. It exists at The Greenbrier and is presented without sponsorship. The conference offers writers an open forum where they can exchange thoughts on skills, trends, writing styles and themes prevalent in today's world of food writing. You can review past attendees comments on the Testimonials page.
In closing, while this symposium takes place next fall in 2010, Thanksgiving is a great time to coordinate those recipes, grab some new ones from other Examiner posts that are rich in ideas for cooking tasty treats and exotic cocktails, but mostly during the warmth of a traditional feast where the art of food is wielded covering generations of foodsmithing - now is a great time to "start" that cookbook and make plans to connect and market next fall.
While this is outside the day-to-day periphery of meal and game planning for a holiday get-together, it remains something to consider during this seasonal respite.
