You have the desire to publish with a publishing house

✅ You have the recipes, kitchen experience, and the drive to secure a traditional book deal. 
 
✅ But you reject the social media dreadmill, leaving you stranded without the platform publishers demand. 
 
✅ You stall at the screen because you don't know what to write to readers, or how to set up the tech. 
 
✅ You have been dreaming about this book for years, but you freeze every time you try to launch. 
 
✅ The longer you wait, the more your recipes stay hidden, and the closer your book deal slips away. 
 

What is the cost of staying stuck?

Another year of dreading social media instead of building an audience you actually own. 
 
Another year of locking your best menus away from people who want to cook them. 
 
Another year of stalling. 
 

What does that mean?

 

Agents will keep passing on your concept.
 
You won't see your name on a bookstore spine.
 
Your dream stays buried in your kitchen drawer until you build a direct line to your fans.  

 But, there is a better way.

 

With a proven framework to follow, you can escape the social media dreadmill. 
Here is what happens when you beat the overwhelm: 
 
Your dream of publishing a cookbook starts to come true.
You realize you can actually build a platform on your own terms.
The clear path appears to grow your audience, attract agents, and secure your book deal.

MODERN MOUNTAIN COOKBOOK

As a new author, I was fortunate enough to work with Maggie as I developed the Modern Mountain Cookbook. Although I had a clear idea of which recipes would be included, with Maggie’s help, I gained new insight and developed what I would call my inner philosophy about why food and cooking for others is so important to me. Cookbooks are more than recipes. They are windows into our heritage, our history,  and our hearts. Nobody understands this more than Maggie!

YOUNG RUNNER'S GUIDE TO NUTRITION 

One of the most important takeaways from Maggie’s program was learning how to really understand who my audience was. Through workshopping and guided exercises, I was able to narrow my focus, and once I did that, the project started to flow. The structure Maggie provided gave me the clarity and confidence to move the project forward. It was also valuable to hear from other cookbook writers; listening to their stories and goals gave me a sense of connection and motivation to keep going.

 After Cookbook Fanbase Formula, you will have
 

✅ A fully operational email list setup so you have a direct, reliable line to your target audience.
✅ A repeatable blueprint for sharing stories, menus, & tips that keep subscribers engaged.
✅ A deep sense of relief as you permanently log off the exhausting social media dreadmill.
✅ Unshakeable confidence to replace your screen freeze, because you know what to write.
✅ The quiet pride of knowing you are building one asset traditional publishers value most.
 
You shift from dreaming about a cookbook to actually building your platform.
You stop hiding your cooking expertise.
You shape it to serve your hungry readers, family, and future publishers. 
 

What does that mean?

You step into the shoes of the author you dream of being.
 
You no longer carry a heavy, stagnant wish to get published year after year.
 
Instead, you gain instant clarity, immediate direction, and the fierce momentum to bring your cookbook to life.

DAL CHAWAL

I can't believe I am a published author with my first cookbook, Dal Chawal. I first learned about my agent in your class and wished to work with her someday. Thank you for the group and for being one of my first guides sharing your wisdom on what it means to be a cookbook author, and showing me around what the world of cookbook publishing looks like.

MIND DIET FOR TWO

Participating in the cookbook group has been invaluable for me! Maggie's knowledge and expertise in writing cookbook proposals, working with publishers, and helping writers build confidence is excellent. It has been great to go through the process with other cookbook writers, talk through where we are, and to help each other think through our concepts and proposals.
