BOOK DOULAS
What is a Book Doula?
The word "doula" comes from the ancient Greek meaning "a woman who serves" and is now used to refer to a trained and experienced professional (both male and female) who provides continuous physical, emotional and informational support to the mother before, during and just after birth; or who provides emotional and practical support during the postpartum period.
Book Doulas use that same approach when it comes to helping a writer deliver or birth that story that has been growing inside of them for some time.
Many large Publisher do an awesome job printing out a writer's manuscript and producing a beautiful book, but they can't provide the works of a Book Doula because of the many Clients that they handle at once.
