GP 208A Diet and Cookbooks with Ruth Frechman


 

What is food to you? Friend or foe or earthly delight? Today's topic is how-to books on nutrition and cuisine.

Gerald, Cheyenne, and Tom are joined in studio by our fellow writer Sarah Ambrosio, who is planning to coauthor a "couples cookbook" with her new husband. We help her think through some of the questions she's been asking about how to get a how-to book done.

After the break, we have an interview with Ruth Frechman, registered dietitian nutritionist and award-winning author, who wrote The Food Is My Friend Diet. She’s going to talk not only about how to be smart about food choices, but also how her book has become her business calling card for building her professional practice.

And, as ever, there's lots of advice on how to get published, including the support resources at our website getpublishedradio.com.

GP 217A - Handmade Books


 

We don’t know whether it’s a retro response to today’s media, but there seems to be a lot of interest in books that get made one at a time. We’ll hear from Jacob Samuel, a fine-arts publisher whose limited-edition books are so carefully crafted they’re considered museum pieces even when they’re new. And we also welcome David Drum, a journalist, novelist, and poet who makes and sells his own hand-crafted editions. 

What IS a handmade book? Are there different types? How did you come to do them, and how do you market them?

  1. If I told you I planned to open a new indie bookstore, what advice would you give me?
  2. What types of books did your customers want?
  3. The Borders bookstore chain was built on a new approach to computerized inventory. Do you think that was a good idea?
