Welcome to the IACBW!
The International Association of Cookbook Writers (IACBW) invites anyone who dreams of writing their own cookbook to connect with us to learn, and become truly focused and inspired about writing, publishing, and marketing a cookbook. Writing a cookbook can open many new doors, and we will show you how to navigate successfully in today’s rapidly changing market.
The goal of our organization is to offer training and encouragement to cookbook writers so they feel empowered and energized to develop their cookbook idea and bring it forth into the marketplace. We support their efforts with education, resources, and community.
OUR MISSION STATEMENT:
“To enrich and energize the lives of cookbook writers everywhere by offering access to the best systems, training, and marketing tools available while creating an atmosphere of support, encouragement, empowerment, and community.”
Some writers begin with blogs and eBooks, and move onto hard copy. Some writers will self-publish and move on the publishing deals. No matter where you are in your journey, the IACBW can help you reach your goal.
You may be a professional chef, personal chef, caterer, or other food industry professional. Or, you may be someone who just loves to cook. Perhaps you have a group of family heirloom of recipes you would like to publish. Or maybe you work at a non-profit organization. All are welcome here, and we will provide you with the individual support you need.
We are continually offering workshops, teleseminars, and interviews with writers and industry experts in the areas of writing, publishing, self-publishing, marketing, social media, speaking, and internet marketing skills.
Your idea-combined with our training, tools, and support…
