Step 0: Set a Goal and Estimate Profit
Before you dive into creating your cookbook, use our calculator to set a goal and estimate how much profit your group can raise. HOW TO USE: Simply input the number of pages, your target total profit and whether your book will be printed in color or black-and-white and click "Calculate". Tune the Number of books you think that you can sell OR alter the markup per book to see what it will take to meet your fundraising goals in different scenarios.
When estimating the number of pages in your book, consider that each page will probably include 1 or 2 recipes and additional pages for content like a title page, table of contents, preface, and an “About the Authors” section. These features may affect your total page count, so be sure to factor them in as you plan.
