Chicagoland FOODIES Wanted!

Local Chicagoland food writers, bar hoppers, caffeine addicts, and foodies of all kinds wanted for forthcoming dining and drinking guidebook called "Hungry? Thirsty? Chicago: The Lowdown on Where the Real People Eat and Drink!", from Hungry City Guides.

This is your chance to support your favorite local restaurant (especially those small, family-owned businesses that appreciate the attention—they can’t afford an advertising budget) and let the world know why dining and drinking in Chicagoland is so great. Foodies of all occupations and day jobs are encouraged to apply. So if you know Chicagoland and care to share your neighborhood secrets, we want to hear from you!

If you're interested in becoming a contributor, send me a PM and let me know who you are and what restaurants you'd want to cover. For more info about the Hungry City Guides, visit hungrycity.com.

* Please note that there is no pay for this gig. You will get a byline and bio, free copies of the book (which is available in all major bookstores), invitations to our launch party and publicity events, and opportunities for regular paying food writing gigs down the road.

**I was a regular contributor to the Hungry? Chicago Family Edition published in 2007. I had a ton of fun writing for them, and now I'm one of the regional editors for the new guide. No writing experience is necessary, but love of food is! Feel free to contact me with any questions.
