Thank you all for your comments. I want to make sure nothing gets out of hand, so I’m closing comments now.

I really appreciate all of the support and kind words! If anyone has anything further they like to say, please feel free to email me.

“itâ€™s a shame that everyone is assuming this is a difference in creative vision and may not be chalked up to a disagreement over money or some other aspect of publishing.
sucks that you have to find a new publisher, but i feel bad for herbivore, who are now in the position of having put a lot of effort and money into a project that will not materializeâ€¦”

Does the internet really always have to be about people making negative, snarky comments? Lolo already said she doesn’t want people playing the blame game, so why go there? Who cares what the split was about, since it’s no one else’s business anyway?

It sucks for her, it sucks for Josh, as they were both putting a lot of time and money into a project that won’t materialize to their mutual satisfaction. They’re adults and it is possible for people to have an amicable split and we don’t have to choose to like one or the other. This isn’t the third grade playground.

Awww…I’m so sorry. It really sucks that it won’t be out in time for the holidays. I’ve been waiting for the book for awhile, it doesn’t make much difference if I have to wait longer, I’ll still buy it. I was really looking forward to having it for Christmas! Good luck finding another publisher that works for you!

Sorry to here this Lolo! I look forward to when it is available whether you find a different publisher or even offer a downloadable PDF.

If you weren’t happy, it is better that you didn’t compromise…no matter what the reason.

Pumpkin whoopie pies look great. When I was a non vegan working at a bakery in Maine, we used to make whoopie pies.

The cake part was just devil’s food cake batter scooped with an ice cream spoon. IDK if that helps in figuring out the consistency in the future.

Aw, that’s too bad Lolo! I hope everything works out the way you had planned, in the long run. It’s better to wait and have things done the way you wanted, rather than rush in along. Good move.

Maybe you could just put it on your blog and charge people for pdfs? Better than making $1 or $2 per book like most writers.

Sorry to hear about your setback. I love your recipes so I will buy several copies of your book whenever it comes out. My mates and I can wait. It will be worth it. You have my support!

the universe has a master plan. a few ideas of publishers:(taken from my vegan bookshelf)
10 speed press
thousand petals publishing
marlowe & co.
clarkeson/potter publishers
harvard common press
arsenal pulp
you will be taken care of- just breathe well, rest, and think of the grander scheme.
