“Miles gently but persistently encouraged me to turn [my] speech into a book, even after I expressed my belief that it wouldn’t be possible given the demands of my day job and the fact that I wasn’t sure I had anything more to say. Without his confidence and optimism, I never would have started the book, and without his deft editing and continued encouragement, I would have never finished it.”

—James E. Ryan, author of Wait, What? And Life’s Other Essential Questions

“I happen to know a little about editors, having the great good fortune of being married to one of the most successful editors in the business. One of the best descriptions of Miles’s contribution to this book came from my husband. Upon reading my final draft, [he] said, ‘I don’t know exactly what Miles did, but you should be extremely happy to have him on your side—this version is light-years better than the first draft I read.’ I owe a massive thanks to Miles for his insightful, thoughtful, and always-encouraging approach.” —Alexis Wichowksi, author of The Information Trade

“I am indebted to Miles, my eternally patient (and surprisingly gracious) editor, who managed to shepherd an untested author through the tumultuous process of writing his first book.”

—Jack Jenkins, author of American Prophets

“Miles, thank you for leading the way. Your instincts and suggestions as editor have been spot-on. Every cut, every probing question that made me wrestle with my thoughts, have paid off. And your uncanny ability to tell me ‘no’ in a nice way has been masterful. You are really good at this.”

—Chris Edmonds, author of No Surrender
