Right on the heels of my spiciest foods piece for Forbes Traveler is The World’s Hottest Peppers—And Where to Eat Them which I penned for Fodors.com.
I’d initially written the hottest peppers piece for Forbes, but it didn’t fit the magazine’s style so I was able to find a home for it on Fodor’s and start from scratch for Forbes.
Luckily the draft was sent before the deadline.
So my take-home advice for writers is to always send the editor your draft (or at least a snippet) before the final deadline to make sure you’re on track in terms of vision.
More soon. Currently wrapping up a couple work-work projects and some preassigned pieces.

Hopefully with a shout-out from Oprah thrown in.
What a coincidence! I just read a Swedish article about the Scotville Scale and the world’s hottest peppers.
Hey Erica – Definitely send me a link to the Swedish piece if it’s online. What a coincidence indeed.
