The Vegetarian Resource - $10,000
Before pitching The Vegan Microwave Cookbook, Nancy Berkoff had previously worked with many vegetarian groups, presenting workshops and seminars for professionals, healthcare people and consumers. She said, “Many people wanted to eat vegetarian, but didn’t have the time to learn new cooking techniques, spend two hours on meals, do extensive shopping, etc. I approached The Vegetarian Resource (VRG), and pitched ideas for ‘easy and vegan,’ with recipes using easily-found ingredients. The book continues to be one of the VRG’s better sellers, and I’ve written many articles for the VRG’s consumer journal, traveling around the country and demonstrating recipes for consumers and professionals, a lifetime membership to the VRG and a LOT of networking (the VRG has been kind enough to ‘promote’ me when they receive inquiries for media events, for ‘experts’ to work with PR firms, etc.)”
Nancy has also authored several other books for VRG. You can view their list of titles at:

Nancy’s book proposal includes:
Proposed Table of Contents
Her table of contents is very detailed and organized in a simple, easy-to-understand format.
Sample Chapter
Nancy provides a well-written, professional sample chapter, which is the Introduction in its entirety.
That’s it!
The section headings of Nancy’s proposal were Arial, 16 pt. font. The actual text of the proposal was single-spaced and in Times New Roman, 14 pt. font. Her sample chapter was double-spaced. We have changed it to single-spacing, and have also changed the text of the proposal to 12 pt. font to save paper.
The Vegetarian Resource paid Nancy $10,000 “plus some perks” for this book.
