Food And Cookery<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The cook<\/a>ery market<\/a> remains a solidly dependable corner of the book market with many literary agents representing the non-fiction genre. It tends to be an area where full-colour hardback books dominate the bookshelves.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bad news is that this is what makes the market so challenging for new writers. Given the high production costs now expected in this area, food, cookery, and drinks books are under pressure from the beginning to sell a lot of copies in order to make a profit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The one sure fire way to get a cookbook <\/a>published is to make sure that you have a TV show first. Or a column in a major newspaper. Or you\u2019re a celebrity with some lifestyle angle to promote. If that\u2019s not you, then there are still opportunities for new debut writers. Especially if you are an expert in an under-explored area of food and drink. A strong platform, demonstrable interest in the area of food and drink you\u2019re writing about, and a bespoke list of targeted agents to approach will mean that you\u2019ll be in a strong place to begin submitting to agents. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

AgentMatch And How To Use It<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are plenty of cookbook-loving agents, but you won’t want to approach them all. The best way to develop and refine your own shortlist of UK agents for food and cookery books is to visit AgentMatch<\/a>, our literary agent database, and use the search tools on the left to make your selection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With AgentMatch you can select by genre (e.g. food and cookery), country, the agent\u2019s level of experience, their appetite for new clients, and much more. You can even save your search results and come back to them, allowing you to work through them one by one, at your own pace. Each profile has been researched thoroughly including what agents like to read in their spare time, information on their most recent deals, manuscript wishlists, submission requirements, and exclusive interviews. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can sign-up for a 7-day free trial<\/a> which will give you a good feel for the data and functionality. Or join us<\/a> as a premium member and get unlimited access to AgentMatch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
