You’ve been thinking about the cookbook or food memoir you want to write for a while now. You keep meaning to start. Maybe you’ve written parts of it, or some of the recipes. You just need a way to keep going.
Get moving with my 3-week Zoom class, Jumpstart Your Cookbook Proposal, which starts April 16.
If you want to sell your cookbook or memoir to a publisher, you need an irresistible proposal that wins over agents and editors. A proposal is a long document that explains why you are the right person to write this book, why the time is right for it, and what the book is about.
Sure, you can read about how to write a proposal (including in my own book, Will Write for Food), but there’s a reason to interact with me. I havean insider’s knowledge of the process and I can help you with the specifics of your own project.
Over the decades, I’ve helped dozens of people become authors by coaching them on their cookbook proposals. I’ve also written successful proposals for three published books, and have edited manuscripts for book publishers.
The small class size ensures you get time to explain your idea, get your questions answered, and receive valuable feedback on your work. You’ll write parts of the proposal in class, and get helpful comments to strengthen your pitch. I’ll send you one of my own successful proposals to use as a starting point. I’ll also ask for a recipe, which I’ll edit and send back with comments. All this comes at a fraction of the price of hiring me as a coach privately.
So sign up now! The first class starts April 16. That’s just around the corner. Take this chance to move your cookbook idea from day dream to reality.
A few other details: You will get all the handouts before class begins. All three classes are recorded, so if you can’t make it to one, you can watch it, complete the homework assignment, and email it to me. I will send it back with comments. And if you have any questions, I’d be happy to answer.
Thanks. I look forward to seeing you in class!
