My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Gerald Everett Jones, author of the book Jonathan's Journal. Gerald Everett Jones is a freelance writer who resides in Santa Monica, California. He writes mystery-thrillers and literary fiction for adults interested in intriguing stories. Jonathan's Journal is my fifteenth novel. I have 20+ book awards I am a board member of Writers & Publishers Network (WPN). Jones has received 20+ book awards, including six in 2020, seven in 2021, and six in 2022. His works often explore themes of morality, justice, humor, and human complexity across multiple genres and settings. Jones holds a Bachelor of Arts with Honors from Wesleyan University, where he studied under notable novelists. He is also the host of the GetPublished! Radio Show and has contributed to the literary community as a book reviewer and radio host. His blog and podcast, Thinking About Thinking, continue to provide insights for readers and writers alike.   In my book review, I stated Jonathan's Journal is a dual timeline historical fiction by Gerald Everett Jones. We meet Jonathan Worthington, an art historian, as he tries to discover why his mother had a WWI diary from a man with his initials. What was the connection? Jonathon hires Elena to help him understand the history. We also meet the man in the diary, a WWI soldier who Jonathan nicknames Fred.   Through the reading of the journal, Jonathan and Elena's thoughts on what they've read and their knowledge of the history, and even Fred's inner thoughts that were never written down, the reader takes a journey to more thoroughly understand the war that didn't end all wars.   But we also get to see the personal journey of Fred as he comes to terms with who he is and what he wants out life while simultaneously experiencing the same for Jonathan. Although touted as historical fiction, Jonathan's Journal has a lot in common with literary fiction speckled with splashes of romance and a bit of intrigue. This was a fun read.   Subscribe to Online for Authors to learn about more great books! https://www.youtube.com/@onlineforauthors?sub_confirmation=1   You can follow Author Gerald Everett Jones Website: https://geraldeverettjones.com/ FB: @geraldeverettjones IG: @geraldeverettjones/?hl=en X: @superscribbler1   Purchase Jonathan's Journal on Amazon: Ebook: https://amzn.to/3Q7EWu2   Teri M Brown, Author and Podcast Host: https://www.terimbrown.com FB: @TeriMBrownAuthor IG: @terimbrown_author X: @terimbrown1   Want to be a guest on Online for Authors?

In this episode, James sits down with writer and contributing editor Shelby Wax for a rare, behind-the-scenes look at how wedding editorial really works—and what it actually takes to get published. Shelby shares how her path through Martha Stewart Weddings, Brides, and now freelance work shaped her perspective on storytelling, curation, and taste. Together, they unpack what most photographers and planners misunderstand about editorial, why "beautiful" isn't always enough, and how timing, brand alignment, and narrative all play a role in what gets selected. They also dive into the realities behind submissions—why great weddings get passed on, how SEO and internal goals shape decisions, and what editors are really looking for when they open a gallery. If you've ever felt confused or frustrated by the editorial process—or wondered how to get your work published—this conversation will reframe it completely and give you a clearer path forward.

Welcome to another episode of the Cookbook Love Podcast. Today I talk about why your cookbook can feel like it's not going anywhere, even when you're actively working on it—and how a lack of direction underneath the work creates hidden costs that most people don't see at first. In this episode, I talk about: • Why recipe writing, organizing, and planning can still feel like you're not making progress • The hidden costs of working without a clear direction for your cookbook • How lack of direction affects time, money, momentum, and decision-making • Why everything feels important when there's no clear publishing path guiding your choices If your cookbook feels like it's stuck in motion but not actually taking shape, this episode will help you see what's really happening underneath the surface. You're not stuck because you're not working enough—you're stuck because your work doesn't yet have a clear direction to move in.

Welcome to another episode of the Cookbook Love Podcast. In this episode, I'm sharing something personal. There's a lot of conversation right now about AI. How to use it, how to move faster, how to generate more. And while I do use it in certain ways, I've found myself coming back to something very different that is not faster or more.  In this episode, I walk you through the rhythm I've developed to support how I think, write, and cook. These are simple practices I return to every day and every week, not as a system, but as a way of staying connected to my work. Over time, this rhythm has helped me think more clearly, make decisions more easily, and stay present in the process of writing. If you've been feeling scattered, stuck, or disconnected from your cookbook project, this episode will give you a grounded place to return to. In this episode, I talk about: The daily practices that help me think clearly What supports creative thinking and decision-making The role of daily and weekly rhythms in staying creatively fueled What it looks like to build a rhythm that supports your work In the end, writing a cookbook and running a business isn't just about the book or the business. It's about your life while you create while working on and in them.

In this episode, I'm joined by chef, author, and vintage curator Spring Council to talk about her beautiful new book Southern Roots. Spring spent over 50 years working in her family's restaurant, Mama Dip's Kitchen, where she learned firsthand how food creates connection, community, and lasting memories. In our conversation, we talk about how that experience shaped her cookbook — from the stories she tells to the recipes she creates — and what it really looks like to bring a book like this to life. In this episode, we talk about: What "Mama Dip's University" taught her about food, people, and hospitality How Southern Roots blends storytelling with recipes Her path through writing, rejection, and finding her voice How she develops recipes that honor tradition while making them her own The role of community in both her restaurant life and her cookbook If you love cookbooks that feel personal, meaningful, and grounded in real experience, this is a conversation you don't want to miss.

Welcome to another episode of the Cookbook Love Podcast.  Today I'm excited to have an interview with Hannah Dasher. Hannah is a country music artist, creator, and author of Stand By Your Pan. Hannah built a loyal audience during quarantine by sharing nostalgic, personality-filled cooking videos—and has now turned that visibility into a cookbook rooted in Southern food, storytelling, and style. In this conversation, we talk about how her online presence shaped her book, the recipes and traditions behind it, and the practical techniques that bring her cooking to life. In this episode, we discuss: How Hannah's TikTok content grew into a cookbook Building a cooking brand through personality and nostalgia Recipes inspired by family, viral moments, and Southern traditions Stock your kitchen (bones, fats, and fresh ingredients) Practical cooking tips—from tomato pie to fried chicken livers to ham stock Why preserving recipes and food traditions still matters If you've ever wondered how audience, voice, and recipes come together in a cookbook, this episode gives you a real example.

What if your cookbook idea doesn't match your profession?  In this episode, I'm talking about one of the most common and costly questions I hear from aspiring cookbook authors, especially experts like dietitians, chefs, and health professionals. Many people assume their cookbook needs to match their credentials. That it should sound serious, clinical, or highly technical to be taken seriously. But publishing doesn't work that way. Publishers are not buying credentials alone. They're looking for ideas readers care about and that often comes from something much more personal. In this episode, I share my own experience navigating this tension as a trained dietitian who wanted to write about seasonal home cooking in Kentucky. I also walk you through how cookbook deals actually work, and why the most compelling books combine both authority and humanity.  If you've been holding back on a cookbook idea because it doesn't feel "professional enough," this episode will give you a new way to think about it. In this episode, you'll hear: Why do so many experts feel pressure to write the "right" kind of book What publishers are actually looking for when they acquire cookbooks The three common paths cookbook deals follow Why passion creates reader connection in a way that credentials alone can't How to combine your expertise with a story readers care about Your credentials matter.  But they're not the whole story. The book you're meant to write might be the one you've been telling yourself you shouldn't.

Many aspiring cookbook authors believe they need a huge social media following before a publisher will take them seriously. But in traditional publishing, follower count alone is not what gets a cookbook deal. In this episode, I talk about what publishers are really looking for when they ask about your platform. They want to know whether you have real relationships with people who know you, trust you, engage with your work, and are likely to buy your book. I also share why writing, conversation, and proof of engagement matter so much more than chasing random followers. In this episode, I cover: Why follower count alone is not enough What publishers really want to know about your audience How to identify the people already in your world who would buy your book Why writing and relationship-building are essential for becoming a paid cookbook author If you've been feeling behind because your audience is not huge, this episode will help you focus on what actually matters.

Imagine what happens when a new episode of The Business of Video Games Podcast all of a sudden release on a Monday! Almost as mindwrecking as if one accidentally started a career in game development, right? Well, say no more dear listener! In this episode, Shams sits down with Trent Kusters, co-founder of League of Geeks (Armello), who did just that. In this first part of our two part interview with Trent, he unpacks the unlikely chain of events that led him into the industry. From bluffing(!) his way into covering the Halo 3 midnight launch as a journalist (...student?) to shipping 10 games in three years at Australia's Torus Games, Trent shares how daring decisions, a good portion of curiosity and a bit of naivety shaped his early career. We dive into what it was like learning game development in a fast-moving “factory” studio, why constraints can make some designers better, and how those early lessons later affected Trent's approach to building studios and most of all - games. BUT NOT before Shams and Fernando have talked about Steams 2025 Year Summary Blog Post. For more from Trent Kusters, please follow him on LinkedIn here and Twitter here.

She has worked as an editor at Deseret Book since 1997, and became the editorial manager at Shadow Mountain in 2014.

She compares first-person, second-person, third-person limited, and third-person omniscient viewpoints, highlighting their relative strengths, challenges, and the genres where each thrives most effectively.

A story that has been sitting inside them for years.But the question lingers Where do I even begin?In this episode of Space for Life, Tommy sits down with Terry Whalin, acquisitions editor at Morgan James Publishing and author of more than 60 books, to talk about what it really takes to move from dream to discipline.Terry pulls back the curtain on the publishing world and explains why most aspiring authors start in the wrong place, what publishers are actually looking for, and why writing success is often 80 percent about the author and 20 percent about the book. They explore the catch 22 of publishing, the power of critique groups and apprenticeship, and why becoming a better reader is foundational to becoming a better writer.If you have ever considered writing, or simply want to understand how books truly shape lives, this conversation offers practical clarity and grounded encouragement for taking your next step.(0:00) Why So Many People Dream of Writing(6:41) How One Book Can Change a Life(14:16) What Publishers Really Look For(18:07) Where Aspiring Writers Should Start(32:32) The Catch 22 of Getting Published(40:19) The Power of Critique Groups(48:34) Why Reading Shapes Better Writing(58:53) Building Consistency as a WriterLove the show?

What are some different paths to getting your book published?

Hi everybody, and welcome to another episode of the Cookbook Love Podcast. Last week, we talked about the traditional publishing team and the real benefits of working with a publisher — how editors, designers, and marketers help bring a cookbook to life. This week, I'm sharing Part 1 of my three-part Publish Your Cookbook Masterclass, called Navigating the Publishing Industry. In this first session, we're tackling one of the biggest challenges cookbook writers face — figuring out how to navigate the publishing world. If you've ever thought, "I don't know where to start." "I'm afraid of choosing the wrong path." "Publishing feels so complicated," Then this session is for you. You'll learn about the three main types of publishing — independent, hybrid, and traditional — and how to decide which path aligns with your goals. It's the clarity so many professionals have been missing — a way to see exactly where you fit in the publishing landscape and how to move forward with confidence. Before we dive in, I want to let you know that the doors are open to Get Paid to Get Published until this evening at 10 PM Eastern. This is your final chance to join us for this round, and I wanted to give you one more opportunity to experience the masterclass and see if writing a cookbook and getting it traditionally published is right for you. So settle in and enjoy this replay, Navigating the Publishing Industry from the Publish Your Cookbook Masterclass.

Today I'm joined by my brilliant friend, fashion-and-wedding photographer Sandra Åberg, for a real talk we've both been having off-mic for years: does being “published” (Vogue, Harper's, Martha) actually mean you've arrived—or is it another industry illusion that keeps creatives chasing validation? We swap origin stories (Milan fashion sets, Sports Illustrated mayhem, and stumbling into weddings), talk integrity lines, and share the unseen mechanics behind advertorials, vendor lists, and “top” roundups—what's paid, what's earned, and what actually moves the needle in a creative business. We also dig into the soul of the work: why connection with your couples matters more than a logo, and how to protect your creative magic in a content-driven world. If you've ever wondered whether you should pay to play, whether that “Vogue cover” on Instagram was an ad, or how to define success on your own terms—this one's for you. In this episode, we cover: The myth of arrival: Why “as seen in…” is social proof—not a finish line. Paid vs. earned press: Advertorials, vendor lists, and “Top Photographer” roundups—how they really work and what they're good for. Integrity lines: Finding your yes/no around paying for placements, ads, and algorithms. From fashion to weddings: Sandra's Milan years, mentorship, and the moment that shifted her values. When the dream feels empty: Sandra's Vogue Japan cover—and the unexpected loneliness on the other side. What books/awards/followers really signal: The strategy behind best-seller lists and big platforms. Connection over clout: Why knowing (and liking!) your couples changes the images—and the experience. Working with planners: How to keep creative chemistry when gatekeepers run the process. Creator vs. content creator: Guardrails for protecting your artistry in a metrics world. Defining success: Visibility, vulnerability, and being seen for who you are—not what you've published. Part two lands soon: “Be a Creator, Not Just a Content Creator”—plus details on our intimate Italy experience designed to rekindle your artistry (and yes, we'll talk smart, values-aligned pathways to publication). Question for you: Where's your line between integrity and appearances—and what does “playing it brave” look like in your visibility strategy right now? Meet Sandra Sandra Åberg is an internationally acclaimed photographer known for her ethereal style, poetic storytelling, and deeply emotional imagery. With over 15 years of experience, she has photographed for Vogue, captured celebrity weddings, and built a reputation as one of Europe's leading names in luxury destination wedding photography. Founder of both Atelier Åberg and her namesake brand, Sandra is not only a visual artist but also an educator and mentor, inspiring photographers and creatives worldwide to dream big and build a life they love.

I almost never say yes to cold pitches. But one late night, I opened an email from Meghan Ely of OFD Consulting—and instead of deleting it, I hit reply. It was researched, personal, and actually useful. That same energy comes through in this conversation, where Meghan shares how she's helped creatives land features in The New York Times, Brides, Martha Stewart, People, and more. This episode will shift how you think about PR—not as something reserved for celebrities or giant corporations, but as a powerful tool for any creative entrepreneur ready to be seen. In this episode, we cover: The real difference between PR and marketing—and why Instagram isn't PR The anatomy of a great wedding submission (permissions, vendor credits, and photo curation that tells a story) How to jump on cultural moments (like Taylor & Travis) with smart, timely commentary The truth about pay-to-play, advertising, and how to promote ethically Why rejection is part of the process and how to separate your self-worth from submissions Client success stories where press built authority, trust, and long-term bookings How OFD Collective helps creatives get quoted, featured, and speaking opportunities Meghan is smart, warm, and refreshingly candid. If you've ever wondered how to get published—or if you're tired of trying to DIY submissions—you'll love this conversation. Meet Meghan OFD Consulting owner, Meghan Ely, combines in-the-trenches event experience with a love of wedding PR to empower her clients to take their businesses to new heights. Her team's publicity efforts are regularly honored by the Public Relations Society of America, and more recently, Eventex named her one of the most influential Wedding Professionals in the Industry. A long-time industry speaker and writer, she has regularly earned clients' press in such outlets as the New York Times, Brides, Martha Stewart Weddings, People, Bridal Guide, Architectural Digest and Style Me Pretty, among many others.

In today's episode, we're unpacking a concept I teach inside the Get Paid to Get Published program about defining Your Cookbook Concept. Using a powerful metaphor —the Dinner Party Analogy—we'll explore how to define what your book is really about, who it's for, what's on the “menu,” and why it matters in today's publishing landscape. Today you'll learn why you, the author, are the host of your book's journey, how to identify and describe your ideal reader, and different cookbook concept types—from ingredients to holidays, what makes your book stand out in the market, and what is a competition study.

Welcome to today's episode of the Cookbook Love Podcast! I'm thrilled to bring you a conversation with Kasey Lobb—a self-professed food nerd, registered dietitian nutritionist, and plant-based chef. Kasey is the author of The Gluten-Free Sourdough Cookbook, a flavorful new release that brings together her personal passion and professional expertise. Her new book marks a stirring new chapter for Kasey's personal and professional journey. Most days, you'll find her experimenting in the kitchen or tending to “Mother”—her well-loved gluten-free sourdough starter. For over 20 years, Kasey has helped clients transform their health through food, with a focus on food sensitivities and autoimmune conditions. With this cookbook, she's on a mission to help home bakers ditch dry, dense gluten-free breads and bake with confidence using accessible, nourishing ingredients the whole family will love.

Ever wondered how interior designers get featured in top magazines like Architectural Digest, Elle Decor, or House Beautiful? In this episode, we sit down with experienced publicist Sarah Alba to uncover the real steps to getting your work published in leading design publications.

If you've ever thought, “Why am I not getting featured?”—this episode is for you. Whether your pitches are met with silence, you're dropping “feature me” comments under open calls, or you're simply unsure how to approach editors, this is the (loving) tough-love conversation you didn't know you needed. In this solo episode, Kat shares raw insight from her unique perspective as both a published artist and the editor of Create! Magazine. You'll learn why some pitches get ignored (even when the art is strong), what editors are actually looking for, and how to approach press and media outreach with clarity, professionalism, and confidence. She also pulls back the curtain on behind-the-scenes stories and common mistakes that hold artists back—like relying solely on social media comments, sending vague DMs, or coming off too self-promotional. You'll leave with a grounded understanding of how to share your work in a way that actually resonates. Kat also explores the energetic and mindset side of visibility—because getting featured isn't just about tactics. It's about believing you're worthy of being seen, celebrated, and supported.   Want to take it further?

Here at ParentData, we talk a lot about panic headlines. You know, the headlines that cycle through your feed about coffee and wine and sleep and lead and the causes of autism, many of which contradict the last panic headline, and almost all of them turning out to be not nearly as bad as they seem. But in the moment, they feel so scary and urgent. And if you're a parent just trying to follow the science, do what's best for your kid, sometimes it feels like you're being absolutely and really nonsensically bombarded with the wrong things to do. Today on ParentData, we've invited Dr. Bapu Jena to help us stay sane. Bapu is an economist and a medical doctor who specializes in natural experiments, which means observing human behavior in naturally existing behavior (as opposed to a randomized trial). This makes him an ideal person to talk about the uses and abuses of data, and how curious nerds conduct research that makes its long and winding way into a headline that almost feels like it's designed to scare the crap out of parents. We talk about the complicated relationship between causality and correlation, the academic and popular incentives to publish these kinds of headlines, and also who decides what research is worth sharing with the world.This is on the face a conversation about research, but really it's about reassurance - there are a lot of reasons behind publishing a story about lead in Cheerios that have nothing to do with you or how dangerous Cheerios actually are or whether you're a good parent who cares about the health and wellbeing of your kids. You are and you do. Don't throw out your Cheerios, but do explore the journey with us.Subscribe to ParentData.org for free access to new articles every week on data-driven pregnancy and parenting.This episode is generously supported by: Hatch  LMNT
