Podcast appearances and mentions of kara rota

This episode features the first official Equity at the Table event. It is a recording of a panel conversation moderated by Klancy Miller, an EATT Advisory Board member and author of Cooking Solo. Host Julia Turshen was the author on the panel and was joined by Kara Rota, a cookbook editor, Cindy Uh, a literary agent with Thompson Literary Agency, and Heami Lee, a photographer who shoots cookbooks plus other work. They cover everything from book proposals to writing, shooting, and promoting a book. The goal of this event was to try and create some transparency and to foster community. The publishing industry is really opaque and so much of book publishing, and definitely cookbook publishing, is relationship-based. Familial terms abound— for example, publishing companies are referred to as publishing houses. The agent-author relationship is often discussed like dating— about finding the right match. Authors refer to books as their babies. Relationships between authors, editors, photographers, and even readers often transcend the professional and become personal. Which can be wonderful, but also confusing. How do you navigate when something isn’t going well? How do you get in the door if you don’t know anyone? This episode attempts to answer some of those questions. Here are some additional resources: Join Equity at The Table! Support Equity at the Table!

Normally, I introduce you to one woman leaving her unique stain on the world without letting BS or burnout stop her. Well, surprise! Today, I’m bringing back seven previous Le vital corps Salon guests. We’re going to different perspectives on a topic that can help your 2019 more of a success. Join me in welcoming the women in this here virtual roundtable: Minda Harts, Erin Barra, Rachel Citron, Dara Kass, Kelly Lyndgaard, Kara Rota, and Patti Wilson. (You can find their cred, links, and news in the Resources section below). I want to acknowledge Minda Harts for inspiring and opening this episode with me. All of these amazing women span different industries and are at different stages of their careers. They’ve mentored, been mentored, and/or sponsored along the way. So, that, friends, is what we’re covering – mentorship and sponsorship. While we’re in that mid-holiday season lull, you might be percolating on what you want to stop doing, keep doing, or start doing. Perhaps you want to launch a business, grow in your current role, find a new job, or begin a new passion project. Whatever it is you’re considering, it’s your relationships with others that can help you achieve any of these things. Another surprise! There are not one, but two, episodes this week as part of this special, year-end Mentor Sponsor Mashup. It’s broken up into two parts because everyone had so much to share. When producer Craig and I sat down with the raw conversations, it clocked in at nearly 6 hours! We worked really hard to distill it down into something empowering, yet manageable. Here’s what to expect from each episode: Part 1 focuses on my guests’ own experiences around mentorship and sponsorship. We also discuss the differences between these two types of professional relationships. Part 2 goes deeper into mentorship and gets more strategic about how to create a successful mentor or sponsor relationship. We get more practical. We hear how some of the guests have navigated around or bounced back from some awkward moments. Whether you’re considering mentorship (as a mentor or mentee) or sponsorship in the immediate future or not, Minda, Erin, Rachel, Dara, Kelly, Kara, and Patti offer up a ton of collective insight and wisdom. All of which can be applied across other facets of business and life. After all, mentorship and sponsorship are about connection and support. Who couldn’t use a little more of that, right?   This quilt of a conversation was a blast to stitch together. I deeply hope you enjoy Part 1 and Part 2 of The Mentor Sponsor Mashup! Don’t forget to hop on the newsletter right here. You’ll always be a reply away, and I’d love to here what you learned and what you plan on applying this year.

Kara Rota (@karalearota) is a nonfiction/cookbook editor at Macmillan and the host of the weekly Clever Cookstr podcast. Growing up outside of Philadelphia and Chicago with an Italian father and a mother who was a macrobiotic chef-turned-raw vegan, Kara was always immersed in the culture and values behind why people eat what they do. We also challenge some pervasive myths about the “right” way to eat in this episode. Brooklyn-based Kara is a strong proponent for girls & women as well as a Digital Media Mentor for Girls Write Now. As our conversation twists and turns, we examine what it’s like to be a modern woman working in publishing and living a life online – selfie culture, our relationship to technology, intersectional feminism, handling outrage on the internet, and considering when to speak up. You do not want to miss this episode. It’s chock full of food for thought.

Organizing and downsizing your home can be a real headache, but we’re here to help! Check out these tips from our guest Kara Rota from the Clever Cookstr for downsizing your small kitchen, as well as some additional tips on common household objects that can be repurposed as organizational objects.
