A cookbook proposal is the single most important document in your book's journey. It's what convinces an agent to represent you and a publisher to make an offer. This service is for authors who have a strong concept but want expert, hands-on help turning it into a polished, publisher-ready proposal.
We'll work together over multiple sessions to build every element of your proposal from the ground up. That includes:
Your overview and concept statement: the compelling narrative that makes an agent stop scrolling and start reading.
Your Table of Contents: detailed chapter-by-chapter summaries structured to show publishers exactly what the book will look and feel like.
A competitive market analysis positioning your book within the current landscape and showing why there's a gap only you can fill.
Your author platform and credentials section framed to highlight your strengths, even if you don't have a massive following.
And four to six sample recipes with headnotes written and tested to the standard publishers expect.
This is not a template or a course. It's a true collaboration with me working alongside you, drawing on nine published cookbooks and two decades of navigating the publishing industry. By the end, you'll have a proposal you can confidently to send to agents.
The process typically involves three to five working sessions over four to eight weeks, depending on where you're starting from. Every engagement begins with a free discovery call so we can discuss your project, your goals, and whether this is the right fit.
