Fund Raising for my New Book

May 11, 2011

WELCOME TO MY FUNDRAISING PAGE!

My name is Alain Braux and I am a French Chef and Nutritherapist at Peoples Pharmacy.

I am looking for funding to promote my latest book Healthy French Cuisine for Less Than $10/Day”

The two first books I have written were also dealing with food-healing issues and were self-published:

= “How to Lower Your Cholesterol with French Gourmet Food” – 2009

– Winner in the Cookbooks category at the 2010 Paris Book Festival.

– Finalist in the Nutrition category at the 2010 Indie Excellence Book Festival.

– Honorable Mention in the Cookbooks category at the 2010 San Francisco Book Festival.

– Honorable Mention in the Wild Card category at the 2010 New York book festival.

= “Living Gluten and Dairy-Free with French Gourmet Food” – 2010

– Winner in the Cookbooks category at the 2011 Paris Book Festival

– Winner in the Nutrition category at the 2011 Indie Excellence Book Festival

– Honorable Mention in the Cookbooks category at the 2011 New York Book Festival

They are both available from this site, at all Peoples Pharmacy stores and Book People in Austin and at Amazon and other online sites.

The 3rd book, “Healthy Meals for the Price of Value Meals” for which I am looking for marketing funds is about Delicious and Nutritious Cooking on a Fast Food Budget.

There is a mistaken perception in the general public that fresh, healthy food has to be expensive. It does NOT have to be so. I am writing this book with the intention of helping YOU to prepare healthy meals for about what it would cost to eat out at a fast food restaurant. I am offering healthy shopping tips and practical ideas as well as about 160 seasonal recipes for a daily budget of $40.00 for a family of four or $10.00 a day for a single person.

My objective is to help as many people as possible with eating healthier foods. Because I am a self-published author, I do not have access to the same marketing budget large publishing companies have.

The cost to hire a professional PR and a marketing company is about $4,000.00. I do have enough money to cover all the production costs myself. All I need is help for proper PR to get the word out to the rest of America. That’s were YOU come in.

I also want you to know that I pledge to donate $2.00 per book sold to the Austin Sustainable Food Center to help their efforts to teach people how to grow their own food and cook healthy meals at a reasonable cost.

If you are excited by this idea and want to contribute, please email your pledge at:

alainbraux@gmail.com

Again, THANK YOU VERY MUCH for supporting my efforts to offer better health to ALL of America.

Au revoir et a bientot! Chef Alain Braux
