The Concierge Thought Leadership Book Program integrates a full-service book authoring team and best practices with FastPencil's next generation publishing platform.

Whether the author is just getting started or has existing content, FastPencil's Concierge Thought Leadership Book Program simplifies the book authoring process by providing influencers with an expert team of ghostwriters, designers, and editors. By following FastPencil's book authoring best practices, the team quickly moves from content creation, cover design, final editing, formatting, and distribution.  A project manager facilitates the entire writing and publishing process to reach book completion in 90 days.

"Executives are undeniably busy and many admit that they would never finish a book unless they had someone to drive the process. FastPencil's concierge program provides busy executives the structure and resources to complete their book quickly, so they can focus on growing their business," said Steve Wilson, FastPencil Co-Founder and CEO. "Our Concierge Thought Leadership Book Program simplifies an often time-consuming, costly and arduous book authoring process and is the best opportunity a thought leader will have to publish their book in 2010."

This program is for CEOs and other key executives, influencers and others who desire to build their brand in well-defined communities of prospects, peers and organizations.
