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.
‘Whether you think you can or you can’t, you’re right.’

Jess this is amazing! Good luck with the cookbook
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!
You can do it. You have amazing and beautiful and wonderful recipes… I will buy one!!
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!
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.
WOw! just saw this (have you had this page for long?) and I’m so excited for you! I will buy your cookbook, no questions asked.
