My Cookbook
I am currently writing my first cookbook proposal, based on my my wacky, 4- foot tall, buttered-cracker lovin’, stubborn grandmother, Mother Lovett.
You can read more about Mother Lovett here:

Yes, writing this book proposal is scary. I have asked myself many times ‘Why me?‘
Well, ‘Why not me?’
We are all capable of anything we put our mind to. I encourage you to follow those dreams and make them a reality.
I grew up with my nose in a book. Walking into a bookstore these days still gives me an astounding, exciting rush. I spent my teen years reading series such as The Babysitter’s Club and Sweet Valley High.
I am a daydreamer and romantic at heart. I aspire to one day write a fiction series for young adults that intrigues, inspires, let’s them know they are normal and beautiful, and makes them laugh.

WOW! Mother Lovett is a genius! Thanks for sharing!

Very inspiring! I want to get my book published too so I know how hard the process is.
I used to love Sweet Valley High and Babysitters Club. I think I read each and every single one out there!

Jessica…hope all is going well…I also have a dream of writing up a cookbook. Any tidbits on how to get started on a proposal??? Thanks so much!
[Reply]
I’m so glad that my publisher essentially found me — I’ve seen proposals… they are so intimidating! I wouldn’t have known where to start if it didn’t just fall in my lap… I’m thankful for that! Good for you to follow your dream. I wish you success.

I don’t know how I missed this tab before! I grew up reading Sweet Valley High and watching the show! hehe. I know you will get published. You are hilarious, and I would definitely buy your book!!! And, I don’t say that I will buy anything unless I mean it!
[Reply]
Do you have any idea when it will be ready??
I definitely want to pre-order it! I love your recipes
[Reply]
I will buy it! Everything you make looks so good it makes my mouth water. Good luck. Remember, every no you get you’re one step closer to a yes!
[Reply]
Awesome!! Good for you. Your writing is great:)

Sign me up for one of the first books hot off the press. Of course I want it signed!
[Reply]
I would totally buy your cookbook! All of your recipes look amazing. Ok, maybe I’m not quite on board with bacon brownies, but everything else!
And I too loved Babysitter’s Club and Sweet Valley High. Brings back memories…

Hey – I’m a long time reader, first time commenter. I don’t know how I missed this tab before, but I’d totally buy your cookbook! If it helps, I have an ongoing list of recipes I’m dying to make and at least 50% of them are yours…
You have a gift girl – I have no doubt you will have a cookbook published in the near future.
