Testimonials
As you might imagine, when I work on a book project, I sign a non-disclosure agreement not to reveal any information about the “author” or content of that book. However, some of my clients have graciously allowed me to use their comments and names. I thank them for their kind words.
"Byron edited and partially rewrote my previously unpublishable book manuscript in about one month. My former colleagues at M.I.T. plan to use it as the foundation of a major fund-raising campaign. I rate him a consummate professional. His dedication to quality made the work all the more rewarding. "
