Secret Ingredients for Cookbook Success - Industry
What, precisely, is involved in writing and publishing a cookbook? There is no single answer to this question; cookbook publishing is a big and complex subject. In this workshop, award-winning writer Deborah Madison illuminates the many facets of the process, both from her own perspective as an author and from the perspectives of publishers.
We address the proposal-writing process, discussing various books that illustrate the diverse approaches one can take to writing a cookbook. We also hear from local authors with different views on publishing—those who have worked with publishing houses big and small, as well as those who are self-published.
Whether you are a first time author of a cookbook or have several on your résumé, Deborah collaborates with you on your book idea, offering individual, one-on-one time if you wish. Participants are given the opportunity to contribute ideas and questions in class, a wonderful way to create community and learn from one another. On our last evening together, we each read a short piece we’ve written, sharing our work with participants from other writing workshops.
