Take Back Your Body
?One of the smartest decisions I have ever made was hiring Judith as my Book Shepherd. I had a story to tell, but no idea how to proceed beyond the completion of my manuscript. Judith guided me through revision, recommended an excellent editor and made contacts to publishers, all of which ultimately led to a publisher for Out Of Focus?Again. I admire Judith not only for her expertise, but also for her straight forwardness. She is no nonsense and tells it like it is which is what those of us who want to see our words in print completely appreciate. She saved me much time and thousands of dollars, and is the reason my completed book is of the quality I wanted. I continue to seek Judith?s advice as I promote my book and am currently writing a second one.?

Where Is She Heading
?Judith Briles?best-selling author and sought-after national speaker in her own right?is also generous to a fault in sharing her hard-earned publishing savvy.
