Forthcoming features

In the past I've routinely just linked to food and drink features I've already written which are live on the web and available to read. But with the changing of the seasons I thought now would be a good time to highlight what's coming up over the next few months with various outlets for Autumn. Unfortunately I can't be particularly specific as features editors rarely enjoy their stories being aired to competitors, but here's what's coming up:

1) An Italian food feature for men's magazine website GQ.com due online in November.
2) A food and drink matching feature, also for GQ.com due online in October.
3) A drinks feature for Esquire magazine in the UK, coming out in the November issue which will be on the news-stands in early October.
4) An Icelandic travel and food feature for Foodtripper.com, online in October.
5) A Scottish travel feature for The Specator / Scoff, online in late September.
6) An Autumnal feature for the delicious. magazine website, online in late September.
7) A restaurant feature for Channel 4 Food, online in early September to accompany the Jamie Oliver American Road trip TV series.
8) A coffee feature for US coffee magazine Roast, available in their January/February 2010 issue, out early January 2010 I think.
