About this title

From the Author

When the International Association of Culinary Professionals issued their call for presentation proposals for the Annual Spring Conference in San Francisco, April, 1994, I decided to see if I could put together a panel on the subject of self-publishing cookbooks. I quickly Igathered six people eager to speak, and the presentation became a double-barreled workshop, with one panel covering the basics of self-publishing and another covering the marketing and promotion of a self-published Ccookbook. Everyone who came to the workshop gave it high marks for excellence. I have gone on to develop my own one-person workshop on self-publishing and promoting your own cookbook. This book began as a transcript of that workshop, but as I worked on it I kept adding things that I felt could not be left out. It has grown to the book offered here. It remains the best easy-to-use guide to writing your own cookbook available today.

From the Back Cover

There is a classic catch-22 in the cookbook publishing field. It is impossible for a cookbook author to get the ear of an editor without the aid of an agent, and it is difficult to get the attention of an agent unless the author has been previously published. In response to this dilemma, more and more cookbook authors are turning to self-publishing to present their books to the public. These authors need help, and until now the perfect book was not available to help them. To fill this gap, veteran cookbook author Marilyn Moore shares her self-publishing expertise in The Self-Published Cook, a complete manual of how to write, publish, and sell your own cookbook. The material is presented in short chapters with the text organized in highlighted paragraphs, making the material extremely easy to read and use.
