We now have our Cookbook Committee-7 people in all. Thankfully, we all love working with one another and will no doubt have a great time with this project! Anywhooo, on to the next step-giving each person specific "jobs." Any suggestions?
We did a Morris Press cookbook for our church. We had made a committee, just like you did.
The biggest pain was the typing. Only two people on our committee did the typing, and I was one of them. It takes forever!!
So, the best advice I can give to you is to let everyone know that this is probably one of the largest tasks, and you should divide it up.
Secondly, we went around to a lot of stores and specialty shops and asked if they'd allow us to put our cookbook in their store. And so many agreed!! Don't overload the stores, just put in ten at a time.
We used the three ring binder. That book has held up so much better than other cookbooks I have.
Have you guys come up with a title for the cookbook yet? I think that's a big thing, because you want something that's going to catch people's eye.
) that you should carefully research and figure a good number of books to order. It may look expensive to do a 2nd printing if necessary, but it is cheaper than having a bunch of books that won't sell left over if you order to many. Our center had 108 children, and we ordered too many ( I can't recall the actual number) books. We were left with about 100 books! If we had ordered less, the profit margin would have been fantastic! I would do this again as a fundraiser, and I would definitly use Morris Press. Good Luck- fundraising is hard work, but so worthwhile!
