Episode 417: Publishers Are Waiting For You
Episode 417
Wednesday, 2 September, 2026
Welcome back to another episode of Cookbook Love Podcast. Today I'm tackling a belief I encourage every one of my students to hold: publishers and agents aren't just open to your ideas, they're actively waiting for them. I share the real story behind my first book deal, including the year I spent sitting on a business card before I found the courage to send my idea, and how that single decision led to four cookbooks with three different publishers over the next ten years and a life built around writing cookbooks and coaching cookbook writers. In this episode, we discuss: The stainless steel bowl analogy: why hiding your ideas keeps you invisible, and what to do instead The business card story: a year of silence, and what finally broke it What actually got me signed (hint: it wasn't a big Instagram following) Two questions to ask yourself about your own kitchen work and its value There's an abundance of publishers and agents ready for your unique perspective. This episode is my invitation to you to start believing they're waiting for you too. Mentioned in This Episode: Join waitlist for next cookbook publishing masterclass
