Trust is one of the most valuable assets a publishing company can earn. Authors invest not only their money but also years of hard work into a book, making reputation and customer satisfaction critical when choosing a publishing partner. That makes awards based on verified customer experiences especially meaningful.
MindStir Media is proud to announce that it has received the Business Excellence Award presented by the Consumer Ratings Institute (CRI), New York.
Unlike many business awards that rely on nominations or judging panels, this recognition is based on verified customer reviews collected across major review platforms. The award reflects consistent positive feedback from real customers and serves as an independent indicator of customer satisfaction.
An Award Built on Customer Feedback
The Consumer Ratings Institute’s Business Excellence Award is part of Awardy’s new recognition platform, which identifies businesses that demonstrate outstanding performance through authentic customer reviews.
Rather than asking companies to submit applications or compete in subjective contests, the program evaluates businesses using verified online reviews, helping consumers identify organizations that consistently deliver exceptional experiences.
For MindStir Media, that means the award is a reflection of the authors who have trusted the company throughout their publishing journeys.
What This Recognition Means
Since opening its doors in 2009, MindStir Media has helped thousands of authors professionally publish and market their books.
Services include:
- Professional book editing
- Custom cover design
- Interior formatting
- Global print and eBook distribution
- Audiobook production
- Amazon advertising
- Publicity campaigns
- Bestseller marketing

Over the years, the company has worked with first-time authors, entrepreneurs, business leaders, memoirists, children’s book authors, and novelists across virtually every genre.
Receiving a customer-driven award reinforces the company’s long-standing philosophy that great publishing extends beyond producing a finished book. It also means providing responsive communication, expert guidance, and ongoing support throughout the publishing process.
A Growing List of Industry Recognition
The Business Excellence Award adds to an expanding list of national recognitions earned by MindStir Media.
Among its recent honors:
- Named Top Self-Publishing Company in the United States by Newsweek.
- Ranked among America’s fastest-growing private companies by the Inc. 5000 on multiple occasions.
- Recognized by numerous national publications for excellence in independent publishing and book marketing.
While industry recognition is always appreciated, awards driven directly by customer feedback often carry unique significance because they reflect the experiences of the people who matter most—the authors themselves.
