I'd love to see what you cook up. 🙂

Super example of making a transition with skills other than writing!

I've never intentionally done that, but I have always tried to give a broad example of longer and shorter pieces.

The fact that I'm a fairly skilled home cook helped me land several copywriting jobs for a custom publishing company with a lot of clients in the food industry – retailers, restauranteurs, chefs, etc.. Of course, having written for a produce trade probably didn't hurt, either. But I pull more from my own cooking experience than anything I learned from the produce trade.
