Inside the Unconventional Journey Behind Bonny Reichert’s How to Share An Egg: A Candid Interview
Bonny: Yes, the earliest version of the book did have recipes. It evolved a lot when once my editor got involved, Sarah Weiss in New York, and the narrative propulsion picked up through editing and through writing. At one point, I realized my chapters were too long. I made them shorter. That made a big difference, as it started to become more propulsive, and the arc started to become more defined,
Sarah, and actually, my agent weighed in too. They particularly thought, and I was not sure I was open, that recipes would slow down the propulsion of the book.
