Colorado Author and The Book Shepherd,

Dr. Judith Briles Has Garnered 12 National Book Awards

Denver, CO February 18, 2021. Colorado bestselling author Dr. Judith Briles is an innovative and creative book publishing expert, author, speaker, and podcast host. She mentors up-and-coming authors, multiple published authors, and publishers. Recently, she announced that her book, When God Says NO-Revealing the YES When Adversity and Loss Are Present has won 12 national book awards for both print and eBook editions.

 

Briles shares, "When God Says NO is my heart book. It's a combination of inspirational memoir, a revelation of what has made me what I am. I've been broke and broken; two of my children died before they were 20; I've had to start over … one step, one breath, one heartbeat at a time as my life path was littered with NO after NO. What I do know is that you are not alone when bad times surface. They will … they do."

          Publishers Weekly' Book Life stated: "Readers looking for a way through dark times will be inspired by Judith Briles memoir of dogged persistence in the face of immense challenges. Though the title suggests otherwise, Briles optimism and determination are not rooted in scripture. Nonreligious readers looking to find the positive in negative experiences will find just as many answers. The practices she uses can be applied by any reader. Although she sometimes frames life through a religious lens (such as asking: Why didn't God prevent her son's accident from happening?), she focuses on the human ability to persevere. This is an admirable guide to finding the gifts hidden inside tragedies."

To date, her books have earned 45 books awards, including the prestigious Dan Poynter Legacy Award for the Best in eBook Nonfiction in 2017 (How to Avoid 101 Book Publishing Blunders, Bloopers and Boo-Boos) and 2019 (How to Create a $1,000,000 Speech).

Known as The Book Shepherd™, she is president of AuthorYOU.org, a member ship organization and the Founder of the 501c3 Colorado Authors Hall of Fame® that honors Colorado connected authors who have contributed significantly to literacy and whose books have had an impact on their audiences. She is a past president of several publishing associations and a frequent keynote and workshop speaker for numerous publishing conferences.
