Culinary Trust’s First Food Writing Fellows To Be Announced Soon

The Culinary Trust is thrilled to announce the launch of the latest edition to our Growing Leaders programs: Cause-based Food Writing Fellowships at print and online sites across the country. These two- to four-month long paid fellowships will help food writers early in their careers develop their skills and unique voice, learn more about food issues across the country, provide mentoring, and result in published work.

The Growing Leaders Food Writing Program and Food Writing Fellowships are supported by The Julia Child Foundation for Gastronomy and the Culinary Arts.

Growing Leaders Food Writing Fellowship placements for the launch year of the program include the online publication Civil Eats and Edible Communities publications across the country. Our reasons to focus on these publications for our launch year include 1) they feature food stories that connect with The Culinary Trust’s mission to help people understand and act on critical issues in food, and 2) we value the diversity of important food stories happening across the U.S. and want to reflect that diversity by providing fellowships in communities across the country.
