It actually was kind of a free teaser for an expanded version that was a online class that you have to pay for but even the free version touched on a lot of the aspects of book writing, how to write, choosing a title and a cover, editing and publishing. The guy is Chandler Bolt and it is called Self Publishing School. I listened to his videos and have started collecting and writing my recipes. I have a ways to go before I will feel like I am ready for the next step but it has been fun so far. I am planning to do an ebook. I am not endorsing his stuff but it might be a place to start. Good luck and have fun.

First, you write an extensive proposal (including outline, sample chapters, sample recipes) that you will send to an agent. Not directly to a publisher. They will want you to have thoroughly researched your "competition"--with books similar to yours--and tell how yours is different. Getting an agent to take you on is quite a process. Then going back and forth with your agent and fine-tuning is a long process. Getting an agent and publisher interested in a book by someone who is not a celebrity of some sort is hard work these days! Every singer, actress, just-famous-for-being-famous person out there is doing a cookbook; and publishers would rather take them on because they are "a name." I would suggest self-publishing.

I've made at least 10 of your recipes. I don't always tell you when I do, but I have loved all of them. I have an apron that is so cute and I never wear it! lol! I think I did wear it once for a cooking blog post I did... but, I'm like you. I cook in my yoga pants! ha!! You could probably somehow get it published on Amazon, which would be the easiest for people to buy... I don't know how you do this... You should also look into some little boutique shops to sell it in once it is done!<br /><br />Carrie<br />curlycraftymom.comCarriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07646332034591536363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4162841902328353969.post-51101927463773018372018-05-01T11:02:07.265-04:002018-05-01T11:02:07.265-04:00Finally!

As for paperbacks, I use Createspace (which is now owned by Amazon). I'm not sure if you can do hardback books through them, but it might be worth looking into it.
