1:1 Freelance Consultations
For a limited time, I am now booking 1:1 consultations.
As a freelance writer, over the years I've encountered a lot of questions about pitching, building rapport with editors and securing steady gigs.
I am excited to offer 1:1 consultations to writers, brands, and culinary creatives who are interested in having the guidance and support from a vetted entrepreneur.
No gatekeeping over here.🙅🏾♀️
Over the last several years as a freelance journalist, I have learned so much from trial and error. One of the many things I wish I had access to was mentorship, a community and guidance on how to thrive as a freelance creative. I am opening up my schedule this year to focus on paying it forward to fellow creatives who need a leg-up on this whole freelance life.
For one hour, I will share my resources and offer guidance based on your goals. Let’s chat.
Author of The Expat Kitchen Cookbook
The Expat Kitchen e-cookbook is where food, culture and people meet. It's part cookbook, part travelogue that follows food writer, Margo Gabriel, life from living in the U.S. to becoming an expat in Europe. Each recipe highlights where Magro's lived and traveled and reflects her Haitian ancestry with dishes like griot and pikliz and much more. From Haiti to Boston, Italy, South African and Portugal and beyond. The playlist is an homage to all of the music greats—old and new—Margo enjoys.
This recipe book is designed for the home cook, the "hostess with the mostest", the self-professed foodie, the oenophile, the curious cook who loves bringing people together. There's wine pairings, an eclectic list of recipes that spans the globe and a viby playlist for music lovers.
