Not So Secret Agent is an email newsletter all about the inside scoop on cookbook publishing from senior literary agent, Sally Ekus (that’s me!). Make sure we never miss the chance to connect.
Dear Not So Secret Agent Readers,
Spring has sprung and I have been thinking a lot about the seasonality of publishing (and asparagus!). For the next few posts, I am releasing a series of video ***Not So Secret Agent Side Notes***. If you aren’t familiar with these Side Notes, they are short pieces of industry commentary that show up in my longer posts. I thought it could be fun to release a short series of more real time updates.
***Not So Secret Agent Side Note: If you enjoyed the window into my agent life lately via the video today, you may want to read more about how I sign clients in this post from last year, here. It does seem like a serendipitous coincidence that the post I am referencing is from May 14th, 2024. I guess there really is a seasonality cycle!***
Also, don’t forget that on May 21st from 7-9pmET, The Everything Cookbooks Podcast crew is welcoming me back (we did this last year) for a Pitch Slam event! This is a great chance to try on a book idea without diving ALLLLLL in on your book proposal quite yet.
In this quick-paced workshop, attendees can pitch a cookbook idea and get instant feedback from me and the four Everything Cookbooks hosts. Don’t have a book idea right now? Join in to learn valuable tips about what goes into crafting a pitch when your brilliant idea hits. There are two ticket tiers, one for pitching and one for listening/learning.
Info and tickets can be found here and are already going fast!
*There are also 2 equity slots available for individuals who want to pitch but may not have the resources available.
~Sally~
