Is there a cost for authors? (no!)

No! Never!

I get asked this a lot 😊

We will never charge authors to create a book recommendation list. My goal is to help authors connect with readers, sell more books, and earn more. That is a huge part of why I am creating Shepherd. Amazing books can’t happen without amazing authors.

We see this as a trade, and we work very hard to ensure it is a fair one. The author gives us 45 to 60 minutes of their time to recommend 5 books around a topic, theme, or mood, and we promote them and one of their books alongside that list forever. And we promote the author, their book, and their book list throughout our website and marketing channels.
