New 3-Week Zoom Class

Jumpstart Your Cookbook Proposal
Monday, October 19, 26 and November 2, 4 to 7 p.m. PT
$465

You’d love to write a cookbook, memoir or food-based narrative nonfiction book, so that means writing a book proposal that interests an agent or editor. A book proposal is a big project, and many people have not written them before — so how would you know what makes one irresistible?

That’s where this class comes in. You’ll shake off your procrastination and fear (both understandable, believe me!) and start writing the proposal during the class. I’ve got lots of handouts and you’ll get feedback from me and the students as you write each section. And I’ll send you a book proposal that succeeded. 

If you have to miss a class, they are all recorded so you can watch them at your convenience. 


Private Consult

One-hour consult: $250

For years I’ve had a five-hour minimum for consulting. But now, we can do a GoogleMeet call for just one hour or more. If you’ve wanted to start on your dream cookbook, get your book published, or get better freelance assignments, let’s move you forward with your goals.

Writers at all levels have booked me to discuss a variety of topics. 

Contact me at djATdiannejDOTcom and we’ll set up the consult.
