Hi, I’m Jackie.
freelance writer . food and drink . brands and copy . New England
I’m a journalist on the Boston dining beat (and beyond). I love telling stories about people, products, plates, and projects with a sense of place. In May 2024, I became the editor of Time Out Boston! For Boston-centric lifestyle and New England travel pitches, find me at jacqueline.cain@timeout.com.
From 2021 through 2023, I was the site editor of The Food Lens, overseeing all content along with a small team. I also edited dozens of restaurant recipes to produce two TFL-exclusive cookbooks for home cooks. Previously, I was deputy food editor at Boston magazine, associate editor at Eater Boston, a taproom bartender, restaurant manager, and a reporter for the Milton Independent in Vermont.
As a freelancer, I also contribute SEO blog posts, web copy, press releases, and more in line with the goals and style of other brands. Let’s talk about ways we can work together — and know I’m always here with restaurant recommendations.
