- Sponsors / Advertising
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.
