IFWTWA Blogs
IFWTWA strives to be a gathering point and resource base for an active membership composed of professionals engaged in the food, wine and travel writing as well as our associated members from supporting industries. As such, we felt a blog created by our members would stimulate conversation that would benefit all members. Once the Blog Committee got started discussing possible topics, we decided our first blog topic, Perks of Being a Food, Wine & Travel Writer was something we couldn't resist sharing with the public.
Public
The public is more than welcome to follow along with our blog. We're sure to accumulate vast amounts of very useful information. We also encourage you to comment on the blogs, ask our authors questions which they may then answer in their next post or directly to your comment. The only prerequsite is that you become a member of Google's Blogger community. It's free! You will be asked to do so when you click the "Comment" link beneath the blog you wish to comment on.
Members
We encourage all members to participate in our blogs. View the list below (soon to be a list) and choose a topic you're interested in. Then go to the About IFWTWA Blogs (members only page you must log in) page for instruction on how to join the blog.
Totally Food, Wine and Travel
Date Started: Friday, September 14, 2007 Date ended: Active
The Board Members and I are often asked about the perks of being a food, wine and travel writer. However, it always seems we never have the time to answer with more than an abbreviated explanation.
So, we're asking our members and guests to join this blog to tell us all the ways they have found to make a living as food, wine and travel writers. We'll talk about the ways to build a reputation that can not only save money while you travel the world, but perhaps even earn a living at it.. And, when we feel we've said all there is to say, we'll compile a summary of what we've all learned from each other.
We see the completed blog being extremely helpful to the student wanting to break into this rewarding occupation. And, we're certain that all our members will profit from the shared knowledge.

Tips and Difficulties of Placing Articles
Date Started: Tuesday, December 11, 2007 Date ended: Active
In a past issue of Press Pass we had a feature on magazines that will take your article and pay well. In each upcoming issue, we will continue to provide, as we always have, new possibilities for your stories. For this BLOG, we would like to focus on tips or difficulties you have with placing your material. We hope other members, including associates will reply to your comments.
Our goal is to open communication so we can all spend more time traveling, eating, enjoying wine, writing to tell the story, and getting paid. Your comments are encouraged.
