STEVEN HARTOV
"With hundreds of publicity and marketing firms offering their services to authors, Lis Malone is the jewel in the crown. As an author engaged in the struggle to acquire more social media followers and creative strategies for increasing sales, I found that Lis Malone, with her unique approach and boundless energy, to be the perfect solution across all platforms. She is imaginative, artistic, unflappable, full of integrity and new ideas. She is “target specific,” without resorting to generic solutions, connecting authors with readers tuned to a particular genre, and never gives in to the challenges that might dissuade the run-of-the-mill publicist. She is the ultimate specialist, treating every client as a unique case to be handled like a prized possession. In short, she is the best thing to happen for my writing career in decades!"

JEROME PREISLER
"I’d been considering hiring a publicist when a fellow author raved to me and their literary agent about Lis Malone. Thirty seconds into our first conversation, I knew why. Lis listens to her clients. She REALLY listens. And you quickly realize she’s thinking when she does. She’s savvy but not cynical. She’s inventive, agile, invested, and seems to work 60 hours a day. And did I mention she’s a total mensch?
At a time when a publicist should be an essential member of every professional writer’s team, Lis Malone is exactly the right choice to help take one’s career to the next level."
- Jerome Preisler, New York Times bestselling author of Tom Clancy co-created series “Net Force” and Tom Clancy's "Power Plays" series.
