The Get Paid to Get Published Method

Most aspiring cookbook authors don’t stall for lack of talent. 

They stall because no one showed them
what traditional cookbook publishers want or what to do first.

So they put off their cookbook dream, year after year.

 Inside Get Paid to Get Published, 
you follow one clear path:

  1. Discover where people already know and trust you, so publishers can see readers waiting for your book.
  2. Shape your idea so your concept is marketable and stands apart on the shelf from other books.
  3. Find the publishers that fit your book, so you query the right publisher, not just any publisher.
  4. Write your proposal and pitch it, so your idea reaches the publishers who pay authors an advance

A few months from now, you open your laptop, and the scattered notes, half-started drafts, unorganized recipes, and the nagging "I should be writing my cookbook" are gone.

Instead, you have a clear plan, and you know exactly what to do next.

Traditional publishing rewards cookbook writers who sell their book idea first. A publisher can offer you a book deal and pay you an advance against royalties before the whole book is written.

What's different in a few months

  1. Your platform is growing, and publishers can see readers waiting for your book.
  2. Your concept is clear, marketable, and stands apart on the shelf.
  3. Your target agents and publishers are chosen.
  4. Your query is written, and you're ready to pitch the publishers who pay authors an advance.

What you get back

  • Your time. No more years lost to a drawer, or to steps done out of order.
  • Your focus. Editing, design, photos, printing, and distribution are handled by your publisher's team, so you can let them go.
  • Your energy. You have support, community, and deadlines, so you don't have to figure this out alone.
  • Respect. Family, colleagues, and clients know what a book deal means.

How you feel

  • Proud to be seen as the expert you know you are.
  • Clear on your next step.
  • Ready to say, "I am a cookbook writer."
  • On your way to the words you've waited years to say: "I have a book deal."
  • Excited for the life after a deal, and for a book that creates a legacy.

Get Paid to Get Published

    This is for you if...

  • You are a chef, dietitian, culinary pro, food blogger, or expert home cook.
  • You are stalled with a finished book or dream and have no publisher.
  • Your idea is story-led, and you want it to stand out from all the rest.
  • You want structure and feedback, so you finish and pitch like a pro.
  • You can give about 2 hours a week to your book.

    This is not for you if...

  • You'd rather keep writing the book than pitch the idea first.
  • You'd rather self-publish and skip the publisher's team.
  • You want a quick hack instead of real writing and revision.
  • You don't plan to pitch an agent or a publisher.
  • You'd rather go it alone, without feedback, deadlines, or community.

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. I feel truly blessed to have her an agent and a publisher. The last few years have been quite testing for me with life changes personally. And, I couldn't have accomplished the task of writing a cookbook without the incredible support and team on my side throughout this process. 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. 

 



JAN BRANDENBURG

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 Get Paid to Get Published 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 for proposal development 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.
