Publishing & marketing for purpose-driven people
We help purpose-driven people and organizations tell their stories, in books and online.
We publish books that build community and inspire, and we partner with our authors every step of the way. We also build the websites, search presence and campaigns that bring readers and supporters in.

Recent work
Proof, in books and online
Books
Cottonwood Gulch: 100 years of Trekking
A 236-page centennial book of archive photographs, hand-drawn maps and first-person memories. Their team gathered the story. We did the layout, design, production and cover.
BEYOND FEAR, by Karen Chrappa
A memoir with an Honorable Mention in the 2025 Eric Hoffer Book Awards and a finalist for a 2025 Southwest Book Design Award.
Marketing & web
Tumbleroot Brewery & Distillery
Technical audit, keyword research in five export markets and new copy for 16 pages. After six months, every target market was generating impressions, up from zero, and product snippet clicks were up 2,225%.
Feast New Mexico
The brand and website for a regional food events platform, created for the Santa Fe Farmers’ Market Institute.
Chocolate Maven Bakery
We rebuilt the bakery’s website, designed its packaging and signage, and ran its marketing. Online sales grew.
Our authors are our partners
A publishing deal built around the author
Most publishers hand you a cover and a contract. We work the other way around: you lead, and we make it happen.
Royalties
At least 75% of your royalties stay with you
Until your initial investment is earned back, you keep at least 75% of your royalties. Once it is, we split them 50/50. Buy an $8,000 package, and the split changes only after you have made your $8,000 back.
Design
We follow your lead on design
We bring bold ideas for your cover and interior. If you don’t love them, we go back to the drawing board.
Marketing
Marketing shaped to your goals
When you want marketing help, we tailor what we offer to your own marketing or sales objectives, instead of selling you a one-size-fits-all package.
Meet the founders
The people behind Mango Moon
Mango Moon Media is led by its founders, Mari and Lisa, with a small team of trusted specialists. When you work with us, you work with them: people who listen first and care how your project turns out.
What our clients are saying
“It’s a pleasure to work with Lisa because she has such a strong and diverse skill set – including the very technical, the more artsy-visual, and the interpersonal. She can quickly develop a creative solution to whatever challenge is at hand, and make it all seem easy. Lisa has advised us on two campaigns. She introduced us to new tools, gave us a realistic sense of what’s required to succeed, and dramatically improved our messaging and polished our marketing materials. I highly recommend her!”
Alice Varon
Executive Director, Certified Naturally Grown
“If you want your project to be successful beyond your wildest expectation, Lisa Madison is the woman you need. Her vision and creativity is matched by a meticulous attention to details, incredible work ethic, and overall competence. And it doesn’t hurt that she’s also a pleasure to work with! I could not recommend her more highly.”
