Deborah Herman is an author, literary agent and publishing entrepreneur. She is the CEO of Micro Publishing Media, a niche and kitsch indie publishing company. MPM includes, a full service editorial, design and marketing company for entrepreneurial authors. Herman's most recent book is as collaborator with Dianne "Snake" Lake, the youngest member of the notorious Manson Family, who for the first time reveals her story of survival and how she helped put Charles Manson and the other murderers in jail. As a lawyer/journalist Herman added insight to the newest Manson book, Inside the Manson Jury: From Deliberation to Death Penalty. This book was written by the Jury Foreman Herman Tubick in 1973 and was discovered by his daughter in 2017. MPM published it and Deborah added strategically placed excerpts from the transcript to show Manson's efforts to control the trial and the outcome. Like a puppetmaster, sociopath Manson caused all the defendants to do his bidding and sacrifice themselves to exonerate him. In the end the court wouldn't allow him to pull the strings. Herman set her sights on a writing books like these while still in her first year of law school at the Ohio State University College of Law. While clearing her 1-L overworked head at a local comedy club, Herman was asked by the owner to earn her place on her bar stool by interviewing comics for a local entertainment magazine. This began a love of writing and the voyeuristic approach to personality profiles. Herman then worked with both the law school and Journalism Graduate school to create a dual degree program. Herman worked as a trial lawyer for a few years but then moved into writing full time. The first Manson book, Member of the Family, was a fulfillment of a lifelong goal. This second book was a once in a lifetime opportunity to study one of the most notorious criminal trials from various perspectives. Herman Tubick's Book is a piece of history. Deborah Herman has written on other subjects including parenting and motherhood and the book for writers titled "Spiritual Writing from Inspiration to Publication" now being revised to reflect the digital age. Deborah Herman is also co-author with Jeff Herman on the industry bible "Write the Perfect Book Proposal: Ten Proposals that worked and Why." Unbeknownst to many who know Deborah Herman, part of her motivation to join Law and Journalism as an educational program was the discovery of a "family secret." She has yet to take hand to keyboard to tell this story, but it began her interest in narrative non-fiction, memoir and eventually true crime. Herman's interests include horses, jewelry making and bead weaving, drawing and painting. She resides in New England.
