Rona Gindin – Ghostwriter

I’ve been writing about restaurants and travel my entire career, along with food, cooking, beverages, wellness, agriculture, weddings and events. Let me use my expertise to help you.

Restaurants
I began my career as a junior editor at a B2B for a foodservice industry magazine, and for the next 20 years traveled around the country interviewing executives, watching chefs cook, attending conferences and touring commercial kitchens. When I stepped into the freelance world, I started copywriting projects for restaurant and noncommercial companies and associations.

Now I also write for consumers—magazine and website features, blog posts, website copy and brochures. I’ve been a restaurant critic for 20 years, hosted a TV show about restaurants, authored books about restaurants. and contributed to media including Epicurious, Food Network and airline magazines. I created the original website for the magazine Saveur, and assisted in starting up the publication Saveur's Wine Country.

I’ve been transitioning to corporate work, and now write website content and branding packages for restaurant and food-producing companies around the country.

Travel
I work within the travel field for both editorial and marketing clients. I write round-ups for consumer magazines, content pieces for timeshare companies and marketing materials for timeshare companies. I was the founding editor of two custom travel publications, Caribbean Travel Planner, a twice-yearly magazine with three sponsors, and Discover St. Thomas – St. John – St. Croix, a hardbound hotel-room book.

I've done a ton with guidebooks too. I authored the Little Black Book of Walt Disney World for seven years, ghostwrote Thailand for Couples, and aggressively updated two Insight Guides to Florida.

I cover travel in other ways too. I write news pieces for attractions and aviation training trade media, and contribute consumer-facing features for outlets including the National Geographic Travel website. I travel the globe, yet live in Orlando and cover its theme park, cultural and natural attractions for magazines, websites and corporate blogs regularly.

Wellness
I'm all about wellness, and bring easy-to-read, fact-filled info to readers as a ghostwriter for a major healthcare system's website.

I know the restaurant, travel and wellness industries from several angles, and can use that experience to write your book. I'll take on any topic, delve into it until I'm an expert, then hand you a thorough, on-point, accurate, clearly written and engaging product.
