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!”
I work exclusively with authors of memoir and nonfiction because I believe in the power of these books, and their authors, to change the world.
Tammy Gooler Loeb
Nonfiction author & executive coach
“As a first-time author, I needed a lot of information, and someone I could trust to guide me through the process of publishing a high-quality book. Jenny Lisk was most definitely that person. From the early editing and design stages to the creative and technical strategies of a full book launch, including distribution and marketing, she supported me through it all. This is a process with a lot of moving parts and it needs to be coordinated in a synchronistic manner so that all the pieces come together cohesively to create a professionally produced book. Jenny offers her own experience as an author and project manager along with a wealth of knowledge and industry resources she has developed over the past few years. She leaves no stones unturned, her attention to detail is impeccable. The relationships Jenny has developed with highly skilled editors, designers, and others in the independent publishing industry, as well as the media, demonstrate her ability to work across many disciplines. She is both pragmatic yet kind, focused, yet flexible, and on top of all that, Jenny is one of the nicest people you will ever get to work with.”
Tamar Hurwitz-Fleming
Nonfiction author
“Jenny's astute, tasteful, and professional guidance was pivotal in ensuring the successful publication and launch of my first book. The more she assisted me with the intricacies and minefields of the publishing world, the more I realized I could never have done it without her.”
Matthew Callans
Nonfiction author & entrepreneur
“As a first time author, it's difficult to identify everything that needs to get done in the publishing process. Jenny helped me navigate everything from beginning to end and made the journey incredibly smooth. From finding an editor and an artist for the front cover, to uploading the book on Amazon and publishing my book in two languages, Jenny facilitated everything and made my job easy with her incredible attention to detail!”
“Jenny Lisk is a rare publishing talent, combining incredible creativity with a process-driven mind to tackle any challenge. I met Jenny as her editor and was beyond impressed by her near-obsession with each scene and word — ultimately earning her numerous writing awards and bestseller recognition for her book. Now, I readily refer any author to Jenny if they want to launch their book the right way. Jenny is a phenom at tapping into every resource for optimizing a book platform — from Amazon/Ingram launch to layout to publicity, and everything in between. She’s also a constant student of the latest technology tools needed by indie authors to compete with big publishing houses. In every way, her project management, publishing, and marketing skills surpass that of nearly any traditional publisher. Just as important, she shows tremendous passion and compassion for each book and author she represents. If you plan to self-publish, you cannot afford not to work with Jenny. She will treat your book like it is her own—letting you reap all the rewards.”
