Over the years, I’ve coached hundreds of cookbook writers. And as a cookbook writer myself, I’ve noticed something: the way we write shifts with the seasons. So does the energy you all bring to your projects. Without a doubt, January and September are your power months. Something about the clean slate of the new year—or the back-to-school feeling of fall—makes it easy to say yes. The urgency feels good for a while. But urgency doesn’t last. Pressure wears you out. And cookbook writing—at its best—is built on bringing the full you to the page, year-round. So today I want to offer another way. A way of writing that moves with the rhythm of summer. With more daylight. With more warmth. With more time to reflect, to gather, to savor, and to create. Summer isn’t about pushing. It’s about presence. And that’s exactly what Cookbook Camp is built for. So, whether you’re poolside with a notebook or cooking with the windows open, let’s explore how this season can support your most nourishing work yet.
