Today, on Author U-Your Guide to Book Publishing, Judith will deep-dive into all the nuances of working with a Book Shepherd ... from your idea to manuscript to execution to the TaDah--your book. She is solo today... as a Book Shepherd to hundreds of books that have launched, she "see's books" and wants to make sure that the author sees his or her book as well. Her website is www.TheBookShepherd.com

Book Shepherd's are master project managers of the creation of your book. A Book Shepherd should be a master of multiple components in publishing--from writing, to design, to marketing, to knowing what players will bring your book alive and so much more. Publishing isn't a piece of cake--it's work. A great Book Shepherd is the icing on your cake.
