Book Shepherd Services

Publishing services for authors and independent publishers

Increase your chances for publishing success!

AUTHORS: Why spend weeks, months, even years, researching the best options for you to get published, when you can have the help of an experienced professional book shepherd to guide you through to the best possible choices for your personal publishing needs.

If you’ve done any amount of research on self-publishing, you know there’s much more to it than simply sending your manuscript off to a printer, dropping off a few review copies here and there, and then sitting back, waiting for the money to pour in.
