BERNADETTE JIWA
Author of Hunch and Story Driven

In a world where people make a lot of promises and don’t follow through, I can always count on them to get the books where I need them, on time. Porchlight is one of the very few services that truly works.

HARRY KRAEMER
Author of Becoming the Best

I can’t say enough about the great work Porchlight does for authors! Need a landing page for people to be able to sign up to get the book? And want the page live within 24 hours? Porchlight did it in less than two hours from inquiry to live. Need a place to sign books you’re sending out to purchasers? Porchlight made me right at home. Every step of the way, Porchlight has done a great job!

I have long admired who you are, what you do, the passion you have for your work, the love of great ideas that is so evident in all of your ventures. From the books you magically find and ship to authors at the moment they need them most, to the amazing party you throw to bring the business book community physically together, to the breakthrough ideas you spotlight on ChangeThis, it all carries a stamp of excellence.
