Good Shepherd Publications

Do you have a book in you? Have you dreamed of seeing your family history in print? Perhaps someone in your family has written poetry or short stories that you'd like to preserve and share with extended family and future generations. What about that novel in your head that you think others would enjoy, but you just don't quite know how to get into print? I have helped numerous authors, with over 300 books, with many decades of experience in the publishing industry. I am well versed in what makes good, professional layout for full-length fiction, novellas, devotionals, how-to books, and community histories. In addition to guiding you step by step through the intricacies of bringing your piece to life, I can help you with: Proofreading your manuscript Full editing or copyediting of your manuscript Typing your manuscript from handwritten or scanned pages Finding designers and artists for your cover Layout design for full-service printing companies or print-on-demand Layout design for ePub, Kindle (mobi), Createspace, and IngramSpark Simple pdf or digital copy for your own personal use or for blogs & website I also firmly believe in continual self-learning and growth, and am always looking for new publishing options in our fast-changing digital world, and formatting of new, more complicated types of manuscripts using charts and graphs, as well as detailed indexes by updating my skills with continuing education classes and network events. I still have contacts in the traditional publishing world so am in touch with tried and true practices that connect with readers everywhere. My true passion is helping Christian authors realize their dream of self-publishing and getting their books into the hands of the readers. I pride myself on being honest, responsible and detail oriented, and I hope you will trust Good Shepherd Publications and me with your labor of love or your next business venture.
