DIY Cookbook Proposals, Part 2, The Working Session

​Bring your cookbook idea, completed Book Proposal Checklist, questions, and any sections where you feel stuck.

​In this interactive session, you’ll receive personalized feedback on your cookbook concept, including whether the idea has a clear market, whether the angle is strong enough, and how agents and editors may respond.

​We’ll also focus on two essential proposal sections: your competitive titles and audience. You’ll learn how to position your book within the market, demonstrate that readers exist, and explain how you plan to reach them.

​The goal is to help you strengthen and shape your concept before you invest time writing a full proposal.
