About Lisa M. Evans

I am a mother of two lovely daughters. I have over ten years in the Human Services field. I recently graduated with a Masters degree in Psychology from Cleveland State University.

I started Marquise Publishing February 3, 2003 to fulfill a dream of becoming a published author. I wrote my first book about a lonely hat at the age of six. My first published book Transforming a Pear into an Hourglass: A Journey from Fat to Fit was a self help book about my own personal experience with yo-yo dieting and weight loss. My second published book Emotions Personified is a collection of poems I have written from age fourteen to the present. The second edition is now available.

In January 2013 I decided to relaunch Marquise Publishing and plan to publish other authors. My focus is on providing a good home for great books from several genres including non- fiction, children’s literature, fiction, and poetry. I want Marquise Publishing to be the champion of the independent thinker, the endless dreamer, and the creative nonconformist. My challenge is to overcome my shyness and my awkwardness in social situations to be a good ambassador for my brand. This blog is my way of putting myself out there and sharing my thoughts, triumphs, and missteps in my journey to build a successful small publishing company
