Book shepherds, full-service contractors for book publishers, take a book through all the necessary steps—writing, editing, design, printing, marketing, distribution—in the most time- and cost-effective manner possible. Services can include creating the publishing company; finding, engaging, and coordinating the interior and cover designers, copyeditor, and proofreader; managing the crafting of the book; completing all necessary paperwork; obtaining a distributor and a marketing and/or publicity firm; creating a marketing campaign; and arranging print orders.
