  Selling sponsorships or advertising space in your cookbook can really help offset the costs of printing your book - and it helps raise even more money for your cause! Local merchants are very receptive to the idea of putting their ad in front of all your potential cookbook customers when they know that the money raised is supporting your community project or cause. Simple black ink ads are best. Click here for more information.

Let Us Do the Work for You!
Gather Your Recipes & We'll Do The Rest

FREE Recipe Submission Forms are available for you to distribute to potential recipe contributors. You can also download the form online to get started even sooner. The Recipe Submission Form also allows the contributor to pre-order books so this will help you determine how many books to print.
Group Recipes By Category
Once you have received all of the recipes, they should then be grouped into categories. If you plan on using one of our Stock Cover/ Divider sets - the heading for each Divider category is shown on the divider. Group your recipes according to those categories. It is preferable to group recipes together within each Category (for example - in the Main Dishes section all beef dishes are grouped together, all chicken dishes, etc.) Our formatters and our formatting program will do this automatically for you at no additional charge.
Gateway Rasmussen will type your recipes for you.
Select a Typestyle/Layout and indicate your choice on your Order Form. Our team will typeset your recipes and will carefully proofread to make sure all of the ingredients and instructions are entered exactly as submitted. Please note: Make sure everyone's names are spelled correctly.

Some helpful hints:
- List all of the ingredients in the order used in the recipe and make sure all of those ingredients are included in the directions.
- Abbreviate ingredients following the Abbreviation List on the Recipe Submission Form.
- Be consistent. For example - Use ‘tsp’ for teaspoon on all recipes.
- Include temperatures and cooking times.
- Double-check the spelling of contributor’s names.
- Contact the recipe contributor to clarify any questions you may have on their recipe(s).

Make a copy! Before you send us your material - make sure you make a copy of everything - just in case your package gets lost or damaged in the mail.
