Comprehensive Plan to Take Authors From A-Z

5.0 out of 5 stars

“Judith Briles has mapped out a comprehensive plan to take authors from A-Z in getting their idea to market: the RIGHT market. And that makes all the difference. As the author of 46 books myself, I know how much writing and authorship have changed. The burden of marketing has shifted from the mainstream publishing houses to the authors themselves. That’s why finding the RIGHT market from the get-go is of paramount importance. Selling books—not just writing them—is the name of today’s game. From problem, to platform, to published, Judith knows the ropes, resources, and road to save you time, money, and headaches. I’ve watched her succeed for 25 years. Author U will be her next bestseller.”

Serious Book with a Twist of Humor

5.0 out of 5 stars

“Dr. Judith Briles has written a serious book about becoming a published author with a twist of humor and clever wit. Briles has written over 30 books, teaching workshops on publishing since 1984. For the last 10 years she has been shepherding budding authors through the maze of getting published. Author YOU is an enchanting book–one that addresses the serious subject of creating an author platform and a book business empire.

Visually, this book draws you in to the world of self-publishing with ease and clear directions. You can’t help but smile at the BookShepherd sheep as it leads you around the road blocks on the way to victory. The graphic black faced sheep pulls you forward while dancing down the road towards success. Author YOU may be the quintessential how-to book for the writer who wants to get published.

Author YOU offers clear steps for development of a vision, a passion, and a plan. It prepares you to create your game plan for process, completion, and marketing success. There are cautionary tales of predators and misdirected focus. There are even some aspects of Six Sigma integrated into the process, but offered as an easy to understand way of book mapping. Strategies for addressing resistance and writing blocks are presented by the BookShepherd sheep. This is a must have book for anyone who wants to write, get published and have fun in the process.”

One of a kind!

5.0 out of 5 stars

“As a service provider to authors and a writer myself, who is very right-brained/creative oriented, I was thrilled the minute I opened Author YOU and flipped through the pages. The author is not only addressing the “how to” steps in a very detailed and easy to understand way, she’s engaged the reader on many levels to impact memory and retention by using her own creative methods to construct a book and ‘get-er-done.” Lot’s of color, humor, fun tips and motivation. Very exciting and a one-of-a-kind book guaranteed to motivate, enlighten and inspire every person who wants to act on their dream of writing a book. This is a gold mine, written by someone who has been there and done that – more than thirty times! Perfect gift for the writer too! Just can’t say enough.”
