About Liz Barrett Foster

When I was in high school, I told my guidance counselor I wanted to be an interior designer.

Her response? A blank stare and the words, “There’s no money in interior design.”

As an impressionable teen in overpriced southern California, I took her advice and pivoted toward my other passion—writing and storytelling.

I immersed myself in English, joined the school newspaper staff, became editor of the high school yearbook, and forgot all about interior design. At community college, I majored in newspaper journalism, later transitioning to magazine journalism at California State University Northridge.

Funny enough, I learned there wasn’t much money in journalism either—but that didn’t stop me.

My journey to becoming an editorial director and a magazine editor wasn’t straightforward. My first job out of high school was at Blockbuster Video, where I quickly rose to store manager. Every role I took afterward had a purpose: learn the business, excel, and grow. If growth stalled, I moved on.

Balancing work, studies, and life wasn’t easy. It took me 10 years to earn my bachelor’s degree—often working two full-time jobs to make it happen. There were tough moments, but I refused to give up.

After graduating, I landed my dream role as an editorial director, and soon after, I became a magazine editor. Nearly two decades later, I’m proud to say I’ve built a thriving career writing about the restaurant, food, and beverage (F&B) industries.

Since 2007, I’ve specialized in creating engaging, SEO-driven content, editorial strategies, and marketing ideas for businesses in the F&B space. I love uncovering the stories behind successful companies and helping brands connect with their customers in meaningful ways.

Today, I run Liz Barrett Foster LLC, offering expert food content writing and project management services. From developing SEO-focused website copy to crafting content strategies that attract more customers, I help businesses in the restaurant and F&B industries thrive.

When I’m not writing or strategizing, I’m enjoying life in the South with my husband, who makes me breakfast every morning. Our back garden is a sanctuary filled with tomatoes, figs, and inspiration.

Let’s connect and bring your food, beverage, or restaurant brand’s story to life!

Clients Feedback

Joan Lang

writer and editor

“I worked with Liz extensively last year producing website content for Nestle Professional (the foodservice division of Nestle USA). I was extremely impressed with her strengths as a researcher and writer. She has deep knowledge of food and the foodservice industry, and was a remarkably quick study picking up both the tight format and the particular nuances of Nestle’s brand communications. We were fortunate to have found someone who could step in as seamlessly as Liz did during what was a major transition for the content team.”

Shannon Keane

marketing associate, VROMO

"Liz is an absolute pleasure to work with! Not only has she written some great content, she always makes great recommendations about what content would be more useful to use, insightful or on-trend. We have worked together on several projects and all activities have been on time and used across several platforms. I would definitely recommend Liz as a B2B content writer."
