Cookbook Design Lab 2.4 – Producing & Distributing Your Cookbook

Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Pinterest

In this fourth module, you’ll take your finished pages to market: building a clear, realistic plan to fund, price, and distribute your cookbook.

We’ll demystify costs line by line, choose the right print and digital pathways, and set up distribution that fits your goals.

You’ll leave Module 4 with:

  • The strategy and basics we need to understand before we touch our first tool.
  • Clear publishing paths compared: POD (KDP Print, IngramSpark, BookVault/Lulu), offset/short‑run, and eBook (fixed‑layout vs. reflowable); when to choose each based on quantity, quality, timeline, and cash flow.
  • A distribution and fulfillment roadmap: retail (Amazon, B&N, Bookshop via Ingram), direct‑to‑reader (Shopify/Squarespace, Gumroad), wholesale/consignment to indie bookstores, gourmet shops, farm stands, culinary schools, and museum stores; event sales and corporate/bulk orders.

Whether you’re aiming for a tight community release or broad retail reach, Module 4 gives you the numbers, setups, and examples for costs to publish with confidence and get the best value and maintain as much margin as possible for your cookbook.
