How to write a cookbook that’s press ready


Recommended Posts

Just got Affinity Publisher 2.0.4 on my new iPad Air 5. YouTube is always my go-to for any kind of instruction. I just want basics for now: how to write a cookbook that’s press ready. NEWBIE HERE. Cannot find anything on YouTube that has this version. Regardless, there is NO VIDEO WHOSE SCREEN MATCHES MINE. So frustrating. I need a word-by-word instruction that I can follow. I’m at a loss. Please help me. Rank beginner with no prior knowledge of a publishing application. I cannot even find the ruler (guide).  This is the first time I have every asked a question online like this, so I hope I’m doing it right. Thank you.

Hi - Came across you post from back in March - Not sure if this will be helpful but just in case, there's a graphic designer on Skillshare that has an Affinity class covering Publisher, Designer & Photo - which includes  cookbook design AND a template.  Granted it's for a standard US 8.5 x 11 print layout but perhaps you can use it as a jumping off point for your cookbook project and convert it for iPad?

I have a series of 9 cookbooks on Amazon from waaaaay back in the day when you could only self-publish ebooks.  Now I am in the process of learning Publisher so I can convert them to print. However, from what I understand is that Affinity lacks the ability to convert a Publisher document into an ebook?

BTW - Skillshare has a 30 day free trial.  The designer's name is Lindsay Marsh - here's the link to her class (NOT an affiliate link):
