HELLO ... I'm the author of 43 books and known as The Book Shepherd, working with authors globally to create and publish books they never regret. If that's you, let's connect. Join me on Facebook with the Publishing with the Book Shepherd ... each day I add something new ... and you are welcome to ask questions, post about your book and share your ahas. In the SPRING of 2023, I released The Author's Walk: Finding Your Voice to Create Publishing Success. Ideal for the aspiring author or who wants to re-discover his or her mojo. In the WINTER of 2023, Book 1: The Secret Journey, my first fiction book co-written with Brian Barnes, was released. It will be followed by Book 2:The Secret Hamlet. In the SPRING of 2019, I released When God Says NO: Revealing the YES When Adversity and Loss Are Present. The paper edition was updated in 2021, the recipient of 15 national books awards, including best cover. My books have been published in 17 countries, created over $5,000,000 in combined book sales and speaking fees, and won more than 55 national book awards. In the past 10 years, all my personal books have become #1 New Releases and earned a variety of #1 categories. When it comes to the authors I've had the pleasure of working with and guiding, they have earned a combined 500 book awards. Today, I usually write about publishing and authoring. They the multi-award winning book: Author YOU: Creating and Building Your Author and Book Platforms, Snappy Sassy Salty Success : Wise Words for Authors and Writers, How to Create Crowdfunding Success for Authors & Writers, How to Avoid Book Publishing Blunders, How to Create a Million Dollar Speech, and The Author's Walk. My first fiction foot in the water was with co-author Brian Barnes with The Secret Journey. What am I working on now? The second book in the Harmonie Series: The Secret Hamlet. I love to speak at Writing and Publishing Conferences - from Ninja Book Marketing, How to Crowdfund a Book Project, How to Create a Million Dollar Speech on Your Book to Becoming a Writer/Author of Confidence and so much more. How have I sold so many books? Simply by learning how to present to audiences all over the world. HOT BOOK AWARDS: There are so many to name. As of 2022, 55 book awards have been earned for my titles. The runaway winner is my memoir, When God Says NO-Revealing the YES When Adversity and Loss Are Present with 14, including best cover design. I was honored to receive the first Dan Poynter Legacy award for nonfiction. As a Blunt, Butt-Kicking, Lets' Get Your Book done Collaborating Book Coach, I work closely with authors creating their books and I'm known as The Book Shepherd (TheBookShepherd.com). On Thursdays, I host a radio show, AuthorU-Your Guide to Book Publishing at 6 pm Eastern that's enjoyed over 15 million downloads. You can go to my website, TheBookShepherd.com and download over 500 podcasts from the home page. Or you can go to the show's home page on the Toginet Radio Network and the All Business Radio Network on Fridays at 6 pm Eastern and check out all broadcasts--each is topic specific. Here's the link: http://bit.ly/BookPublishingPodcast SMOLDERING HOT: If you want to learn How to Create the Ultimate Amazon Best Seller and How to Write Your Nonfiction Book in 4 Weeks!, check out my website under Experiences. Both onsite and online classes. SIZZLING HOT: Throughout the year, I deliver Judith Briles Book Publishing Unplugged, Speaking Unplugged, Book Marketing Unplugged, Social Media Unplugged, and Create Sizzling Book Cover and Marketing Copy Unplugged ... each all-day intensives with just me. The workbooks are content heavy, the gathering is kept under 20 so that every participant gets focused attention and their book is highlighted. Get ready to roll up your sleeves, it's a deep dive into branding, marketing, Amazon, gizmos and gadgets to soar your authoring success and so much more. Details and dates are on TheBookShepherd.com website on the Experiences tab. Warning--this event sells out every year. Available in-person and online. Each year, I shepherd a group of authors during January or February at my annual Publishing at Sea event. I include other savvy publishing experts as faculty members. In 2024, the dates are February 2-9. The portal for information is www.PublishingAtSea.com I'm the founder of AuthorYOU.org and AuthorU.org, a membership organization designed for the author who wants to be seriously successful. If you are an author, or budding author, you definitely want to become a member of Author U (AuthorU.org). Throughout the year, all day Author, Publishing and Trade Show--it's the Author Extravaganza. Details can be found on the AuthorU.org and TheBookShepherd.com websites under EVENTS. In addition, I'm the founder of the Colorado Authors Hall of Fame, and 501c3 dedicated to ensuring the legacies of Colorado connected authors. When I'm not working with clients as The Book Shepherd, you'll find me cooking--often with friends co-cooking--or in the garden. When I finish writing my own books, I give myself a month of reading what I call "trash" for pleasure--mystery thrillers. I love the feel of a well-crafted-book and I'm partial, very partial, to curling up with book in hand, a cup of tea or glass of iced tea, and falling in. One of my favorite days: Opening a book and discovering that several hours have passed. Delicious!
