"There's no better way to produce a top-notch book quickly and affordably than to work with Lisa Pelto and her team at Concierge Marketing. She is an educator, guiding authors through the publishing process, while empowering them to make their own publishing decisions. I may have never started my profitable side-business in publishing if it weren't for Lisa's encouragement and highly competent support."

Jeff Beals, author of "Self Marketing Power" and President of Keynote Publishing

"Lisa has exceptional energy and understands the crazy world of publishing and marketing books.  We would be lost without her.  She put together an incredible product for us and one that we believe will grab people's attention.  Lisa works very hard marketing our product and is a delight to work with.  She also takes care of a lot of the "little things" that can make a big difference in getting your product out to the consumer.  We have a very casual, professional relationship with Lisa and this is how we like to conduct business."

P.S. - "Of course you realize we are author's of children's books and we live in a fantasy world of make believe.  Maybe you can't believe a single word we say."

Janie and Roger Peterson, The Sleep Fairy and Mini Methods or Madness

“I had a book whose subject matter demanded an extremely short deadline for such things as interior and cover design, printing and promotion. Without the expertise, professionalism and dedication of Lisa Pelto my book would never have made it to market in time.”

Winner of Foreword Magazine's Book of the Year Award for When the Mob Ran Vegas AudioBook

“Lisa's sharp eye helped us add glitz to our book cover -- a perfect touch for our second printing. Yes, second printing, because with her marketing assistance, I was on the radio across the country promoting my book. She knows her stuff.”

Steve Fischer, Berkline Press, author of When the Mob Ran Vegas

“When we need to find special markets to sell a title, the research has to be focused and intense. Lisa is able to pinpoint the best places to target my niche books – from websites with great reach and marketing, to media opportunities, catalogs and specialty retailers.”

“Lisa Pelto and Concierge Marketing have provided me with a terrific resource for my work as an author and publisher. Lisa’s range of information about book-related issues, such as production and marketing, is enormous. I had published a children’s picture book that had a simple, but acceptable, cover, and had a mediocre interior that contained errors that were nearly imperceptible to my human eye. The book worked for me. But once Lisa made some changes to the interior and cover art, the book became a work of art. Everyone to whom I’ve shown the before and after is extremely impressed with the difference, and with the final outcome. And, it is no small feat that Lisa’s modifications are more in line with the needs of the printer.”

Sherry Henig, author of Sara Makes Her Mother Proud and Learns Good Behavior 

"Lisa has the knowledge and the connections that can benefit any author at any level.  Not only have I seen first-hand how much money she has saved me compared to what I had done in the past, but I now have my own publishing company which allows me to do so many more things I never thought possible.  From the layout and design to the final product, Lisa was there every step of the way and made sure everything was perfect.  On top of that, her knowledge of advertising and marketing is unsurpassed for authors like myself, allowing me to now have a nationally distributed book.  It may take more time and more of an initial investment than other alternative routes, but the end result and the rewards are well worth it." 

David Kolowski, author of "Diary of a Husker" and president of Big Red Press

 "Signing on with CMI was probably one of the best business decisions Playmakers Mentoring Foundation has made. And because we needed the books now, it was imperative that we not spend valuable time searching for a "mainstream publisher," and then undergo the lengthy publication process. CMI fit the bill perfectly. We knew what we wanted the book to look like and CMI helped us develop our ideas ~ and improve on them ~ so that what we ended up with was even better than we had imagined. Not only that, they have been a great help in so many other ways. Whenever we have a question, we automatically call them. Our first book is completed now, and we are eager to begin the next one ~ and yes, the one after that. Needless to say, we are counting on CMI to help us do exactly that".

“The process of publishing a high quality book was much more complex than I had originally anticipated. If I had not partnered with Concierge Marketing and instead tried to do this on my own, I would have produced a sub-standard product with no idea how to market it, and I would still be months from completion. Concierge Marketing understands the complexities associated with the design, production, distribution, and marketing of books in this industry. More importantly, I felt like I was a part of their team as we worked through all phases of my project. I will use them for my next book, and strongly recommend their services for anyone serious about producing a high quality product.”– Steve Farner, Ph.D.
