If you have a chance to work with Andrew and his team, don’t miss it!”

Ruth Chou Simons
“Publishing is not for the faint of heart. Every author needs an advocate and champion, an encourager and pathfinder. Andrew has consistently sought to understand my creative needs and aspirations and worked hard to provide resources and tactics for success. I’m so grateful we’re able to work together.”
–Ruth Chou Simons, bestselling and award-winning author of Now and Not Yet, founder of GraceLaced.
Michael Todd
“Every passionate and driven author needs an equally passionate and driven editor – one who understands the author’s creative needs, concerns, and big ideas. Andrew is that sort of editor. I appreciate the way he has always supplied honest, intuitive, and encouraging feedback. It is so important for me to have someone at my side who pushes for my vision and helps curate the strongest possible material and Andrew always provided that throughout my process with him."
– Michael Todd, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Relationship Goals and Crazy Faith and pastor of Transformation Church
Tim Tebow
“I can’t wait to work with Andrew again. From the questions he asked during the writing process to the editorial feedback he gave, one thing was obvious: he cared. A trusted guardian and vision keeper, Andrew has nailed down the artful science of challenging and encouraging. The editorial experience can be intimidating for many authors. Andrew immediately eases any potential tension with his warmth, confidence, intuition and expertise. He knows what he’s doing and he loves doing it!”
—Tim Tebow, New York Times bestselling author of Mission Possible, two-time national champion, first-round NFL draft pick, and Heisman Trophy Winner
John Mark Comer
“Andrew Stoddard is hands down the best editor I’ve ever worked with. Full stop. He’s literary, well read, and erudite, but down to earth; his professorial background makes him a trusted sounding board for theological and historical questions. And to make things even better, he’s congenial and kind. I hope we work together for many years.”
— John Mark Comer, Founder of Practicing the Way and New York Times bestselling author of Live No Lies and The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry
Mark Batterson
"An author needs more than an editor—they need someone to encourage them when they hit writer’s block, someone to challenge them on the third edit. That’s what I found working with Andrew. He knew when to encourage, when to challenge. And his upbeat attitude alleviated the normal stress every author feels trying to hit a deadline. At the end of the day, I want an editor that cares about me and believes in the book I’m writing—that’s Andrew to a T."
—Mark Batterson, New York Times bestselling author of Chase the Lion and Win the Day, Lead Pastor of National Community Church
"It's rare to have an editor who cares as deeply about your message as you do - Andrew Stoddard is that kind of advocate and editor. His singular intention is to serve you and your message. His commitment to protecting your unique voice and to elevating the quality of your work is both inspiring and compelling. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to work with him on this significant project."
—Erwin Raphael McManus, Lead Pastor and Founder, Mosaic Church & author of The Last Arrow and The Way of the Warrior

"Andrew has been an absolute gift to me. He is one of those brilliant individuals who blends both a powerful expertise in his craft and a tender heart towards coaching a writer.

—Mike Foster, founder and author of People of the Second Chance
Tyler Reagin
“Andrew Stoddard has been a gift to me in the process of writing my first leadership book. From our first breakfast meeting, through the entire editorial process, he’s become a trusted support and voice in this project. He has pushed this content further than most would to make it the best version possible. So much so that I’m going to have a hard time ever writing another book if he’s not involved! I’m so thankful that I was handed over to such capable hands for this book!"
–Tyler Reagin, CEO of the Life-Giving Company, Former President of Catalyst and author of The Life-Giving Leader and Leading Things You Didn’t Start
