Her passion for baking led her to develop a personal method that makes sourdough more accessible and less intimidating for home bakers. Elaine encourages aspiring bakers to maintain a journal of their experiments, which helps them refine their techniques and learn from their experiences.Elaine's approach shows that really connecting with your readers and staying true to your own style can make a book launch successful and keep your writing career going strong.
