The next bite is always waiting

...around the back, on the other side of town, in a neighborhood or bistro or bar you may have never heard of before.

I’m Corin Hirsch, a Vermont-based writer and visual storyteller.

I’m Corin Hirsch, a Vermont-based writer and storyteller with a sixth sense for extraordinary places, dishes, drinks, and people hiding in plain sight.

I’ve written scads of copy about wine, oysters, cheese and the ups and downs of the restaurant business. I've also covered supply chains, energy, tech, and crime. I’ve been an award-winning dining critic at Newsday and Seven Days; wrote a book about colonial-era drinking; and find stories in data for publications, nonprofits, and founders.

What I do

In the age of niching down, I’m a creative generalist—a designer who edits, a writer who art directs, and a content strategist who optimizes stories, visualizes data, and builds campaigns.

Writing + Editing
I’m a relentless researcher and insightful interviewer who can nail stories quickly, accurately, and on deadline. Food, drink, and travel writing are my longtime wheelhouses, but I’ve also covered energy, climate, health care, governance, commerce, and scores of other topics.
Ghostwriting
I leverage content design and storytelling techniques to bring place and brand stories to life, from must-open newsletters and blog posts to pitch decks and landing pages. I’ve also ghostwritten editorials, guest posts, and copy for leaders in the food and wine space.
Infographic Design
I craft data into compelling visual narratives that tell stories in powerful ways. Scraping, cleaning, plotting, visualization — I love it all. Check out a few here.
SEO/GEO + Content Updates
I refine and refresh content to boost visibility, engagement, and meaningful traffic through both traditional web search and searches initiated through LLMs. I blend keyword strategy, on-page SEO, markup, and restructuring to ensure content stays search-friendly while keeping pace with ever-changing algorithms.
