Mackenzie Filson is a food & beverage writer based in Los Angeles. Her writing has been featured in PUNCH, Eater, The Kitchn, EatingWell, TASTE, and Dirty Spoon, and she currently works as a contributing digital food producer for Delish. She also pairs books with wine (her one party trick) in her newsletter, Book Sommelier.
A graduate of Emerson College’s writing & publishing program and Columbia University’s publishing course, Mackenzie previously worked in publicity at Penguin Random House for (almost exclusively) mass-market sci-fi bodice-rippers under their Berkley imprint.
In her past lives, she waited tables at a guest ranch in middle-of-nowhere Montana, was the resident “Cheese Girl” for Trader Joe’s, and slinged books for Scuppernong Books, Skylight Books, and The Harvard Coop.
She is represented by Maria Whelan at Inkwell Agency.
