Next book’s preorders are open! Plus gearing up for a busy autumn

Just a few quick updates this week, as it’s been a bit since I’ve actually listed out the things I’ve been doing in any formalized kind of way.

As always, I’m available for private classes, book talks, and really anything where I get to engage creatively and intellectually around the work I love to do. Shoot me an email (below) if that’s something you’d like!

My next book is open for preorders

Essential Food Preserving was a massive undertaking on the part of myself and many talented editors, designers, photographers, etc. and which resulted in what I think is frankly a beautiful (and, hopefully, useful) book.

The book doesn’t actually release until May 2026, but it has quietly opened up for preorders ahead of the holiday season if you want to give someone (or yourself) a nice gift to open with delayed gratification.

Preorders are MASSIVELY helpful to authors and influence the entire lives of our books (and, in a more holistic sense, our ability to continue writing the books you love). So, if you know you want this book, I’d be so grateful if you preordered!
