Publishing question, especially for professional readers — we’re trying to decide how to allocate publicity money for Feast, and are looking at NetGalley. “NetGalley blurb: A 6-month listing with NetGalley is $450. It allows professional readers to request the book for download. The author can view profiles for each requesting member and choose which requests

As a note, this is all new to me; I’m pretty sure I hadn’t heard the term ‘rage baking’ in any context until a few weeks ago. But despite the fact that I cook a lot and think about cooking a lot, there are lots of food spaces that I haven’t spent time in, and

Quick question (primarily for vegetarians / vegans). Some of you may remember that I did two little mini cookbooks before Feast, The Marshmallows of Serendib and Vegan Serendib.

I was talking to Chef Roel Estanilla at local Filipino pop-up pig & fire about some of these issues too — he makes these amazing ube cookies, and people

Two things that just make me happy: – shipping out a new copy of Bodies in Motion, a book I published in 2005 — 15 years later, this book still has some legs. 🙂 I spent four years working hard on it, so it’s very pleasing to know that new readers are still discovering and hopefully enjoying

Odd start to the weekend — I slept until almost 10, which was not my plan — I must have needed it badly. When I got up, went pretty much straight into a Serendib Press work meeting with Stephanie and Heather. Coffee was helpful. Coffee and meds! Heather took the train out from Ann Arbor this weekend, to

Shopping cart advice? We’re realizing that the PayPal ‘shop’ buttons and the set-up of our Feast page isn’t ideal; it’s a lot of scrolling, etc. I’m wondering if we should set it up in a different kind of way, maybe an Etsy shop or something else? Recommendations welcome! I’m mostly selling print goods, but also
