Welcome to another episode of the Cookbook Love Podcast. Have you ever caught yourself thinking, "I'm not really an expert… who am I to write a cookbook?" or conversely "They're not really an expert…who are they to write a cookbook? You're not alone. For years, publishers, editors, and agents acted as gatekeepers, deciding who was "qualified" to write a cookbook.

But times have changed.

In this episode, I'll walk you through:

The old gatekeepers who kept most voices out of publishing
How traditional publishing is shifting and why publishers now want new and unique lived experiences
How self-publishing platforms have blown the doors open
Who the real gatekeepers are today
And the most important truth: the only permission you need

You'll also hear about The Cookbook Publishing Masterclass, a free 3-part training series I've created to help you take the next step toward your cookbook dream. It begins September 2, and it's the perfect way to see what's possible when you stop waiting for permission.
