Episode 373: Navigate the Cookbook Publishing Industry

Update: 2025-10-30

Description

Hi everybody, and welcome to another episode of the Cookbook Love Podcast. Last week, we talked about the traditional publishing team and the real benefits of working with a publisher — how editors, designers, and marketers help bring a cookbook to life. This week, I'm sharing Part 1 of my three-part Publish Your Cookbook Masterclass, called Navigating the Publishing Industry. In this first session, we're tackling one of the biggest challenges cookbook writers face — figuring out how to navigate the publishing world. If you've ever thought,

"I don't know where to start."
"I'm afraid of choosing the wrong path."
"Publishing feels so complicated,"

Then this session is for you. You'll learn about the three main types of publishing — independent, hybrid, and traditional — and how to decide which path aligns with your goals. It's the clarity so many professionals have been missing — a way to see exactly where you fit in the publishing landscape and how to move forward with confidence.

Before we dive in, I want to let you know that the doors are open to Get Paid to Get Published until this evening at 10 PM Eastern. This is your final chance to join us for this round, and I wanted to give you one more opportunity to experience the masterclass and see if writing a cookbook and getting it traditionally published is right for you.

So settle in and enjoy this replay, Navigating the Publishing Industry from the Publish Your Cookbook Masterclass.
