How to Publish a Cookbook

Cookbooks are a unique genre in publishing, and follow completely different steps from publishing fiction, so today we're talking about the publishing process unique to getting your cookbook out into the world (aka: into people's kitchens). Today, we're focusing on how to traditionally publish a cookbook, from writing a book proposal, to testing your recipes, to finalizing design, and finally how to market your cookbook.

It would be very expensive to publish a cookbook if you have to hire those professionals to help. I don’t know where to get a good stylist of food photographer. That would make publishing a cookbook out of reach for me.

I think it’s bad that we focus on her beauty and not her talent or skill, but she truly is adorable.
