The first two books I wrote were novels. Writing non-fiction intimidated me precisely because I had no idea how to write a
proposal. A very good friend, Leslie Wilson was gracious enough to lend me her proposal. From that, I've been able to pull
together several proposals.
Following Leslie's example, I've included a cookbook proposal here to help jumpstart you.
A helpful book is: Formatting & Submitting Your Manuscript
by Jack and Glenda Neff and Don Prues.
That, coupled with the latest Writer's Handbook
will help you locate your market as well as offer great writing tips.
Writing a proposal is difficult. It takes time, tenacity and more time. If you do your homework well, when the proposal sells
(notice the faith I have in you!) you will have completed most of the work. Writing flows from a well-done proposal.
Please note I have given you the purest form of the proposal. Other things would need to be added to make it complete:
A cover page
A query letter
The proposal
An annotated chapter outline or synopsis
Three sample chapters
Happy proposal writing!

Feed 'Em, Don't Weep: A Cookbook Proposal
I. Overview
"Ponder well on this point: the pleasant hours of our life are all connected by a more
or less tangible link, with some memory of the table."
—Charles Pierre Monselet
My fondest memories as a parent, wife and friend happen in the dining room. Because of that, I've been passionate about
creating a unique dining experience for the people I love who circle our dining table. With more than 4,000 home-cooked meals
under my culinary belt, I've been able to develop many original recipes-recipes that raise everyday food to a gourmet level
without the hassle. Coupled with that, I've developed a philosophy of hospitality where guests are participants and food is
comforting.
Through easy to follow recipes, simple cooking tips, and stories about dinner table entertaining,
Feed 'Em, Don't Weep: Cooking Like a Chef Without Crying over the Onions offers today's families recipes that really
work—real food for real people.
I have been creating original recipes since 1992, adding them to the last two pages of The Giving Home Journal newsletter. I
am a family lifestyle columnist for a regional newspaper and have recipes published in Bon Appetit and Women's Day.
II. About the Book
"The fact is that it takes more than ingredients and technique to cook a good meal.
A good cook puts something of himself into the preparation-he cooks with enjoyment,
anticipation, spontaneity, and he is willing to experiment."
—Pearl Bailey
Feed 'Em, Don't Weep answers the "What's for dinner?" question with simplicity, great ingredients and sensitivity to
time-strapped consumers. Hyperion editor-in-chief Will Schwalbe addresses this felt need in American society: "People are
staying home and eating with their families as opposed to eating every meal in a restaurant... There are some great books to
solve the daily problem of what to make for dinner. It's a classic and I see it working well." The cookbook, therefore, is
part cooking lessons for creating wonderful meals and part handbook for easy-going company entertaining. Think of it as a
marriage between Mark Bittman (The Minimalist Cooks Dinner) and Ina Garten (Barefoot Contessa Parties!).
With a conventionally organized format, helpful sidebars offering quick recipe variations, sample menus, tip sheets,
easy-to-follow directions and humorous culinary stories,
Feed 'Em, Don't Weep enables readers to cook and entertain with confidence.
Who is the target audience for this book?
Feed 'Em, Don't Weep is aimed at home cooks who want to notch up their existing repertoire of recipes. It targets
people who either enjoy or fear entertaining around the family table.
Why is there a need for this book?
Seven in ten American families still sit down to dinner together at least five days a week
—Survey by Kraft Foods Inc. and Yankelovich Partners, 2002
First, the home cook needs to know how to organize the kitchen and pantry to minimize food preparation time. In order to
integrate hospitality into his family's life, the home cook needs to learn the importance of planning meals, shopping less
and improvising.
Second, the home cook wants user-friendly, innovative recipes. This is accomplished when a cookbook author becomes a teacher,
giving step-by-step instructions. "For any cookbook to succeed, it has to have a strong teaching element," advises Pam Krauss,
editorial director for Clarkson Potter.
Feed 'Em, Don't Weep is a cookbook written conversationally, as if the author were across the kitchen table telling a
friend how to cook a pot roast.
Third, the home cook wants hospitality de-mystified. With busy schedules and neighborhoods without porches, today's cook is
isolated. She most likely was not taught how to entertain. She needs someone to come alongside her, offer relevant and helpful
meal preparation solutions, and expand her strict notions of hospitality garnered from Miss Manners clones ("You must always
use the silver." "Soup is not a meal; it's merely a starter." "One must always impress guests with a flaming dessert.")
Feed 'Em, Don't Weep incorporates all three of these elements with candor, humor, and an engaging writing style.
Specific reader benefits include the following:
- Tried and true recipes. Well-tested, original recipes served over the span of a decade helps the reader have confidence in
trying something new. Because of this,
Feed 'Em, Don't Weep has the potential to last years on a cook's shelf-marinara-stained pages and all.
- Helpful hints. Cooking tips from how to easily chop herbs to what bread should feel like when it is properly kneaded helps
the reader expand his cooking repertoire. According to Sumi Hahn, cookbook editor at Amazon.com,
readers like helpful hints: "There seems to be a return to general techniques that a home cook can use."
- Hospitality inspiration. Anecdotes, helpful "get ready" lists and a dose of gentle cheerleading helps the reader take an
initial step toward entertaining around his dining table.
- Fun and grace. Cooking should be recreational-an endeavor that includes eaters as well as preparers. This book takes some
of the stuffiness out of preparing gourmet meals while helping the reader not to take herself too seriously. Cooking food is
messy, but it is an adventure easily rewarded.
- Interesting anecdotes. Today's cookbook connoisseur is often a cookbook reader, reading it from cover to cover like a
novel. Telling stories about recipe origins or funny entertaining foibles livens up a cookbook's pages. Commenting on Joanna
Lund's success as a cookbook author, John Duff, publisher of Perigree and HP Books says, "People cook from [Joanna's cookbooks]
because the recipes are real, and they're made real by people. The anecdotal information is often as appealing as the recipes
themselves."
Helpful features for today's cook include the following:
- Helpful list boxes. "Last minute dinners you can make in twenty minutes." "Five kid-friendly desserts." "Ten herbs and
spices you can't live without."
- Sidebar tips that help home cooks understand common chef vernacular. "How to caramelize onions." "What is roux?" "Help! I
don't know what al dente means."
- Pantry solutions. An entire chapter gives readers a pragmatic approach to stocking a pantry, from organization to list
making and shopping.
- Recipe variations. These sidebars help the reader adapt a specific recipe to his taste.
- Straightforward writing style. Since I often get asked for recipes, I've developed a sixth sense for writing in such a way
that a basic cook could easily follow.
- Timetables. Many cooks struggle with pulling a meal together so it is completed all at once. Timetables help minimize
failure-like an overdone pot roast with still-crunchy boiled potatoes.
- Piggybacking basics. The book also has an informative chapter teaching the reader how to take one meal and transform it
("piggyback" it) into another meal, thus dealing a decisive blow to leftovers. "The most remarkable thing about my mother is
that for 30 years she served the family nothing but leftovers. The original meal has never been found." Calvin Trillin
What series potential exists?
Just as How to Cook Everything™ morphed into several successful spin-offs, this book has series potential. Possible
series titles include:
- Feed 'Em, Don't Weep Carefree Parties
- Feed 'Em, Don't Weep Family and Friends Entertaining
- Feed 'Em, Don't Weep Weekend Cooking
- Feed 'Em, Don't Weep Mediterranean Style (My husband and I are relocating to the Cote D'Azur next summer where I look
forward to developing Mediterranean recipes.)
Alternative titles:
- At Family Table
- Casual Meals for Family and Friends
III. About the Market
Even in today's economic times, cookbooks are top sellers. Last year, about sixty million cookbooks were sold in North America. Even self-published Junior League cookbooks have sold over 100,000 copies.
Consider the following publishing phenomenons:
- Dawn J. Ranck and Phyllis Pellman Good's The Fix-it and Forget-it Cookbook: Feasting with Your Slow Cooker (Good Books, 2000) has sold
over 2.5 million units, mostly through word of mouth marketing. Lee Stern, cookbook buyer for Barnes & Noble explains, "It's
one of those rare books that doesn't seem to have a catalyst other than the title-which is one of the best titles of all
time-and a great price."
- Better Homes and Gardens New Cook Book, (Twelfth Edition, Meredith, 2003) sold over 900,000 copies. It appeals to the
beginning and experienced cook alike. The red and white-checkered cookbook has sold over 34 million copies since it was first
published in 1930.
- Joanna Lund's heartland-oriented cookbooks have sold more than three million copies during the last decade.
- Jessica's Biscuit, a cookbook catalogue and online business stocking 8000 cookbook titles, produces six catalogs a year
with a circulation reaching 400,000. Its weekly newsletter has 20,000 subscribers.
The potential readership for a fresh perspective on home entertaining is not merely measured by book sales, although those
figures are intrinsically high. Specialty or niche magazines targeting lay chefs also indicate the marketability of such
merchandise:
- Bon Appetit, where two of my recipes have been featured, has a circulation of 1,283,375.
- Cook's Illustrated, a step-by-step guide to the best recipes, has a circulation of 470,000.
- Family Circle, Woman's Day and Better Homes and Gardens, who all have substantive recipe sections for home cooks, have a
combined circulation of 16.3 million.
- Although there is a large demographic of cookbook buyers, the largest segment is women from 30-50, a segment I represent.
Current publishing trends. Cookbooks are selling well even from backlists. Consider the following comments from industry
insiders:
- "I think the cookbook market is as vital as ever," says James Connolly, publisher of Bay/Soma Books.
- Cookbook publishing "is a very resilient category. I think overall it's held up very well because it's an area that is
almost a necessity for people. Everyone has to put food on the table, and they're always looking for new ways to do that."
Jennifer Josephy, Broadway Books
- "Virtually every [cookbook] publisher declares that the backlist is responsible for a generous percentage of revenues."
Robert Dahlin, Publishers Weekly, 7/28/03.
The Cocooning trend in America after 9/11 has contributed to brisk cookbook sales, especially those aimed at home cooks:
- "Home, family-nothing too exotic that you can't do fairly easily-that, in general, is what people are looking for."
Jennifer Josephy, Broadway Books
- "We earlier found our confidence in the kitchen, and now there's less need to be showy. What we want is to be together.
[We] are looking for books by authors who are, I don't want to say spiritual, but who are somewhat reflective, because what's
important to these people is the act of sitting down and sharing meals with friends and family." Ann Bramson, Publisher,
Artisan Books
The Simplicity trend cannot be ignored:
- "Comprehensiveness is good, but I do think that people primarily want to return to a simpler kind of cooking. In the '80s
and into the '90s, we cooked much too ambitiously." Ann Bramson, Publisher, Artisan Books
- "Cooking can be adventurous and still be relatively uncomplicated." Jennifer Feldman, Publisher, IDB Books
- "One of the major features of books that people like is simplicity. Simplicity doesn't mean ease or quickness of
preparation. It's the desire to get really, really good ingredients and to cook them in simplified ways." Nach Waxman, owner
Kitchen Arts & Letters
- "Simplicity is key these days. People are not really interested in investing time in very demanding recipes." Pam Krauss,
editorial director for Clarkson Potter
- "Simplicity sells. There's a continuing trend toward books that give great results with recipes that have just a few
excellent ingredients or a simple, well-honed technique." Rux Martin, Houghton Mifflin
The potential markets for the sale of this book include:
- Online booksellers like Amazon.com and Barnesandnoble.com
- Specialty catalogs like Chef's Catalog
- Web sites like Epicurious.com, GourmetSleuth.com and Cooking.com
- Cookbook clubs like The Good Cook and Jessica's Biscuit
- Warehouse stores like Sam's Club and Costco
- Bookstores like Waldenbooks and Bookstop
- Cooking stores like Sur La Table
- Gourmet grocery stores like Whole Foods, Central Market and Larry's Market
IV. About the Competition
There are many well-written, useful cookbooks for the home cook that debuted in 2003. The big names include:
- How to Cook Everything the Basics: Simple Recipes for New Cooks, by Mark Bittman, Wiley, 2003. This cookbook is a spin-off
of the popular How to Cook Everything™ brand. It is specifically targeted toward the new cook. Other titles by Bittman this
year are: How to Cook Everything Quick Cooking and How to Cook Everything Easy Weekend Cooking.
- Better Homes and Gardens: More Easy Everyday Cooking, by Kay Scarlett and Katharine Gasparini, Meredith, 2003. This
cookbook emphasizes minimal kitchen time and healthy recipes.
- Tom's Big Dinners: Big-Time Home Cooking for Family and Friends, by Tom Douglas, Morrow Cookbooks 2003. This cookbook is
written by a famous Seattle restaurateur and highlights recipes for easy home entertaining.
- Pat and Betty's No-Fuss Cooking, by Patricia A. Schweitzer and Betty T. Morton, Hyperion, 2003. The Reynold's Wrap ladies
share their favorite recipes.
- 30-Minute Cookbook: 300 Quick and Delicious Recipes for Great Family Meals, by Reader's Digest editors, Reader's Digest,
2003.
Two 2003 cookbooks resemble the scope of Feed 'Em Don't Weep:
- Serving Dinner: The Menus, Recipes and Shopping Lists to Bring Your Family Back to the Table, by Leanne Ely, Ballatine,
2003. This cookbook is more focused on nutrition, as Ely is a nutritionist and it is not geared toward simplicity.
- Cooking for Company: All the Recipes You Need for Simple, Elegant Entertaining at Home, by Nicole Aloni, HP Books, 2003.
Although this cookbook offers hints and tips, it has only 55 recipes.
Though there are cookbooks lining bookstore shelves, and they are bringing in needed revenue for publishers and retailers,
there is still a need for an author experienced in creating fabulous meals to come alongside the home cook.
V. About Promotion
Not only am I passionately dedicated to the craft of writing, but I also enjoy promoting what I've written. I understand the
significance of the one-month launch window and will do everything I can to maximize that window. In addition, I will
integrate promoting Feed 'Em, Don't Weep into my lifestyle, making use of several venues:

Feed 'Em, Don't Weep in Kindred Spirit, circulation 30,000. Kindred Spirit reaches well-known Christian leaders
throughout the world, including all graduates of DTS. She is my writing mentor and friend.

Leslie is a noted speaker at local MOPS meetings. She founded the Rockwall Christian Writer's Group, a writing group I now
help co-lead.

I am a member.

Since my initial foray into publishing includes six years of desktop newsletter formatting as well as several paying
graphic design jobs, I will offer to come alongside the publisher's marketing team developing my own flyers, press releases,
business cards with book information, bookmarks, postcards and promotional posters.
I will craft and distribute press releases to the following newspapers:

his/her comments and stories relating to the book. The site would list speaking engagements, links to booksellers, and contact
information.
Giving copies to influential people
Word of mouth sales, or buzz, is tantamount to a book's success. With this in mind, I will give away 250 copies of the
book to people of influence:
- All the endorsement people, media outlets and companies listed above.
- Our mailing list of nearly two hundred people, including business leaders, authors, homemakers, and ministry leaders
around the globe. Rux Martin, Executive Editor at Houghton Mifflin, highlights this personal aspect of selling books:
"Publishers talk so much these days about cookbook authors with 'platforms,' their own restaurants, TV shows, and mailing
lists, that we often forget all about the value of personal appeal. The author who can hand-sell books the old-fashioned way
still counts. People are more inclined to buy a book if they can taste a recipe and get a personal connection with the author."
- Kevin Bailey, Manager, Broadcast Marketing and Product Selection for FamilyLife Today Radio broadcast.
- Carolyn Murray, Managing Editor for The Answer, (circulation 100,000) a publication of the Promise Network.
- Daren Watkins, Editor for The Rowlett Lakeshore Times and several other local Dallas papers owned by Star Community
Newspapers (circulation 100,000).

- The Dallas County Library System
VI. About the Author
I started cooking in my early teens, fixing an entire turkey dinner complete with homemade apple pie at fourteen. During
college, I worked as a Pantry Chef at Twelve Baskets Restaurant and Catering. My mom, an avid caterer, has taught me how to
pull together meals and parties for small groups and large. In 1993, I won the Olive Garden's Lasagna Baking Contest. At the
same time, I published The Giving Home Journal, which highlighted recipes in every issue. In 1997, KCTS Nine Cookbook
published my Cream of Tomato Pasta recipe. Later, I created The Giving Home Journal Cookbook. Bon Appetit and Woman's Day
published my recipes this year.
Entertaining is a lifestyle for our family. We have guests in our home nearly every week, and most every night, we sit around
our dining table for dinner. Ann Bramson of Artisan Books emphasizes the cookbook author's experience as key to a cookbook's
success. "I don't think the chef aspect of a book is as important as the author's knowledge and experience. It's the access to
the informed years and experience of those who know."

writing home schooling materials for a local curriculum company and video copy for Siemens. For the next several years, I
designed and edited three additional non-profit newsletters. Over the past eighteen months, I have completed two novels with a
third one in progress, and am juggling three non-fiction proposals. I am a weekly family columnist for Star Community
Newspapers. I have also had success with well known Christian and secular magazines.

Educational and professional background
I graduated Magna Cum Laude from Pacific Lutheran University with a degree in English. I taught Literature and writing to
both hormonal seventh graders and advance placement seniors. Since my children were born, I have opted to write from home.
This year, however, I am working half to three quarter time on my freelance writing business.
In Summary
I am willing to meet with the publisher's marketing department-anything that would help this book reach more home cooks. I
am a tenacious and prolific writer with a weekly column deadline and three novels slated for completion this year-all this
while still cooking meals for my family every night. I never miss a deadline, am eager to refine my writing through the
editorial process, and enjoy promoting my work in innovative ways.
In my interaction with many frustrated home cooks who truly desire to feed their families and show hospitality, I know
Feed 'Em, Don't Weep meets a felt need in today's rushed, but cocooning, society. I look forward to its success and
potential.
