Description

Ever wonder what it really takes to sell a cookbook? In this episode, Rose and Crystal get honest about the long road from idea to book deal — from crafting proposals to finding the right agent. Rose shares that she pitched cookbooks for years before selling one, a reminder that slow doesn’t mean failure. It’s a conversation about persistence, creative heartbreak, and the quiet faith it takes to keep writing when no one’s said yes yet.
