MEET BOB ERDMANN

In 1978 Bob decided to share his successful publishing experience by opening his consultancy. For the next twenty-plus years his clients, whether large or small, have been provided with Bob's unique personal one-on-one attention, which in today's very impersonal world is greatly appreciated (and admired) by all. As a two-term president of the prestigious Publishers Marketing Association, Bob played major roles in many of the successful programs that PMA members enjoy today. He created PMA's Trade Distribution Program, which has resulted in more than $10,000,000 in sales for its members. He was also instrumental in guiding the organization onto the successful track that its Publishing University at BookExpoAmerica enjoys today. He has been an invited speaker at many publishing events throughout the world, and is the author of countless articles in several respected industry publications.

How can Bob Erdmann help you? If your publishing venture isn't achieving the kind of success that you feel it should, or if it needs some help in order to rise to that elusive next level, you can avail yourself to Bob's four decades of publishing experience. Because of this experience he is able to "cut to the chase" to solve your publishing challenges. Bob "shoots at the donut, and not the hole".

Bob (a native Chicagoan) has been happily married to Dottie (an upstate New Yorker), his college sweetheart, for over forty years. They have raised five wonderful daughters-Kathy, Karen, Julie, Jenny and Mary, and are the proud grandparents of six boys and four girls. Bob & Dottie have lived most of their married lives in California, with a brief stop in the Colorado Rockies. They currently live in the Sierra Nevada foothills.
