Member of The Guild of Food Writers

I’m Jacob Smith, a freelance food writer and editor based in Edinburgh. I’ve written for National Geographic Traveller Food, The Scotsman, delicious. and Pellicle, among others. Recently, I completed a six-month contract working as the food and drink writer at The Courier, a regional Scottish newspaper that was first published in 1801.

​

I have worked as a freelance news editor at The Takeout, managed the marketing and communications campaigns for Edinburgh Food Social and volunteered as secretary at The Guild of Food Writers, the professional association of food writers and broadcasters in the U.K.

 

My photography has appeared in The Courier, The Scotsman and The Bookseller, among others, and my ​first short story is slated for publication in the Leicester Literary Review.  If you want to learn more about my work, please get in touch.
