For food, nutrition, and culinary experts who dream of being a cookbook author

Stop Dreaming and
Start Writing Your Cookbook

You have the recipes, experience, and desire to write a cookbook, but you feel stuck

✅You don't know where to start, how to make your concept stand out from other cookbooks, or the best way to get published.

✅You feel overwhelmed by all the options and second-guess every decision.

✅You have been thinking about your cookbook for months, maybe years, but every time you sit down to start, you lose focus or freeze.

✅The longer you wait, the more your expertise stays hidden, and you risk losing the opportunity to share all you know and love.

What is the cost of staying stuck?

Another year of dreaming instead of doing. Another year of keeping your expertise hidden from the people who need it most. Another year of not writing your book.

And what does that mean?

You don't achieve what you want in your life. The dream of being an author isn't happening. And that dream will stay with you until you figure this out.

But, there is a better way

With a proven framework and model to follow, you can get unstuck.

And here's what happens when you're not stuck in overwhelm and indecision:

Your dream of writing a cookbook starts to come true.
You realize that you can do this!

Then the path appears for you to move toward

publishing your dream cookbook effectively and clearly.

It's time to stop stalling and start writing your cookbook with a strong foundation.

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.

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.
