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. Subscribe!
Dear Not So Secret Agent Readers,
Thank you to those who tuned in live yesterday to watch me gush about two new cookbooks publishing TODAY!
Both of these books had unique paths to publication. I hope you watch the video and check out these special titles:

Potluck Desserts: Joyful Recipes to Share with Pride by

Video Notes:
If you’re interested in the How to Write a Cookbook Course that brought both of these incredible humans into my life, you can find more info here. The class is self-paced and will fast track your industry knowledge! But DO NOT PAY the full $499 price!
NSSA readers can enroll in the class by upgrading your subscription to the Ambassador tier. Ambassadors also get a 20 min 1-1 with yours truly and a cookbook mailed to you! My suggestion is to complete the class and then take advantage of your 1-1, but that’s just advice for you overachievers out there.
As a paid reader, you support my ability to offer equity spots to anyone, no questions asked. Equity spots have full access to incredible NSSA networking events! If you or someone you know would benefit from an equity spot, please drop me a line.
As always, for all readers, the industry content in my newsletter will remain free and accessible to everyone. That is baked into the ethos of this newsletter.
A Thank-You to the Writing Community: Win a Free Spot in Dream to Deal Workshop
My friends Hannah Howard and Kelsey Shipman are hosting Dream to Deal: Book Proposal Workshop, a live, 9-week summer workshop that helps nonfiction writers turn their ideas into agent-ready book proposals.
Full disclosure, I am one of the two agents that participants will have the chance to get feedback from at the end of the session.
As a thank-you to the mentors, friends, and communities that support writers, Hannah and Kelsey are offering one free spot exclusively to readers of this newsletter (a $1500 value!).
To enter, just fill out this quick form by Thursday, June 5th at midnight. They’ll draw a name at random and announce the winner on Instagram Live (@hannahmhoward) on Friday, June 6th at 1pm ET.

Happy reading, cooking, and writing!
~Sally~
