Jenny Lisk • Nonfiction Publishing & Marketing Strategist
This FREE 6-Part Email Course is designed especially for nonfiction authors ready to take the leap from finished manuscript to published author.
I am a publishing and marketing strategist who specializes in nonfiction and memoir.
Drawing from years of experience in storytelling, platform-building, and strategic publishing, I support clients with everything from marketing strategy and execution to professional self-publishing.
My work — both personal and professional — is grounded in the belief that stories matter. Especially the hard ones.
Most of all, I believe in the power of nonfiction books — and their authors — to change the world.
Let’s talk about:
Professional self-publishing
Author platform development
Email list strategy and implementation
Nonfiction author websites
Virtual book launch event planning, production, and hosting
Launch team strategy and execution
Podcast pitch development and outreach
I care about my clients’ books as much as I do my own. Let’s work together to bring your book into the world.

Some Authors I’ve Worked With Recently
Gena Cox
Nonfiction author & organizational psychologist
“I call Jenny Lisk the “Independent Book Publishing Whisperer” because when she helped me with the marketing and implementation of my book launch, she asked many strategic questions I would not have otherwise considered. Her operational and marketing guidance was priceless; not only did Jenny help me avoid costly errors, but her just-in-time project management skills helped me stay on track without adding more stress. I will work with Jenny again as soon as I finish writing my next book!”
Andy Molinsky
Nonfiction author & business school professor
“Jenny has been an invaluable partner on two vastly different book projects. For our traditional business book launch with a major publisher, Jenny crafted a compelling publicity strategy that identified the right channels to reach our audiences. Her strategic insights and hands-on support ensured we had a solid plan to generate buzz and awareness. When I felt lost navigating the self-publishing world for my non-traditional, graphic-style self-help book, Jenny was a true lifesaver. She took the time to understand the vision, then provided comprehensive guidance on production, distribution, marketing, and more. Her publishing expertise combined with her enthusiasm for innovative formats made her the perfect partner. In both cases, Jenny impressed with her professionalism, creativity, and unwavering commitment. She was always responsive, resourceful, and solution-oriented, whether developing high-level strategy or executing tactical details. I'm incredibly grateful for Jenny's expertise in bringing these important books to life.”
Randy Grimes
Nonfiction author, ten-year NFL veteran, & addiction interventionist
“Working with Jenny on the release of my first book was so enlightening. I had no idea of the small, but all-important, nuances and details involved. She literally walked me through each phase of the launch, but more importantly, she kept me calm and eased my fears. She was my online author therapist and a valued member of the team. I could not have pushed my project over the finish line as easily as I did without her. Thank you, Jenny, and I look forward to our next opportunity to work together soon!”
