“Working with Chad was important to the overall success of Living Forward. He gave us ideas and suggested revisions that significantly improved the overall quality of the book, and I’m so grateful to him for that. When a manuscript comes into Chad’s care, he works diligently to make it the best it can be. I would recommend his editorial work to any of my author friends.”

—Michael Hyatt, New York Times bestselling author

"We had some interest in our book project. Then we took Chad’s advice on our book proposal, implemented it, and the publisher tripled their previous advance offer, netting us a nice six-figure deal. Chad’s expertise on book proposals is second to none!"

—Grant Baldwin, author of The Successful Speaker

"I wish I would have come across Chad earlier in my publishing journey. He provided great tips for adding hundreds of email subscribers, tightening up my email copy, and setting big goals for the release of my memoir One Step Closer. The tools and freelancers he recommended were huge assets on my way to publication. On top of all this, he was reliable, encouraging, and fun to work with. I look forward to enlisting Chad's help again when I'm ready to hunker down on book number two!"

—Ryan Atkins, author of One Step Closer

“Not only is Chad Allen a keen, insightful editor who gently challenges me when I need to be pushed a bit, he’s also a delight to work with – warm, generous, and engaging, a consummate professional and a genuinely terrific person. I appreciate his responsiveness to my questions, his willingness to collaborate and brainstorm, and his obvious dedication to and knowledge of the craft of writing and editing.”

—Michelle DeRusha, author of Katharina and Martin Luther: The Radical Marriage of a Runaway Nun and a Renegade Monk

“Chad is a fantastic coach. He combines an encourager's heart with a wise experienced mind. His insights have made me a better writer and set me on the course to a much stronger platform.”

—Gary Neal Hansen, author of Kneeling with Giants
