“Do your layouts deserve better than Lorem Ipsum? Apply as an art director and team up with the best copywriters. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.”
When you submit a cookbook proposal to a publisher, what are your chances?
At Andrews-McMeel in Kansas City, MO, only 10 percent of the books its publishes are cookbooks. That’s 20 cookbooks a year.
Of those 20, perhaps half the books spring from ideas generated internally.
How many proposals compete for the remaining 10 spots? About 5,000 per year, estimates president and publisher of Andrews-McMeel’s book division, Kirsty Melville, who started the cookbook division in 2007.
