Here’s what clients are saying:
“Our team has been blessed to work with Sam O’Neal many times, and I highly recommend him as both a writer and an editor. I particularly appreciate his ability to understand my vision as an author for each new project. And he always brings a variety of skills to the table: he’s detailed, organized, deals with people well, and he’s a creative storyteller. I have trusted Sam with some of my most important books, and I know you can trust him as well.”
— David Jeremiah, New York Times bestselling author of Book of Signs, Overcomer, Everything You Need, and much more.
“I simply cannot recommend Sam highly enough as a writer, crack author-management guru, problem-solver, and overall stellar talent and human being. He has that magical combination of gorgeous writing talent and amazing bedside manner that is so critical to a good collaborator. He has incredible capacity, works quickly and with such high quality, has an impeccable sense of responsibility, and is delightful to work with beyond what I can adequately describe.”
— Daisy Hutton, Vice President and Publisher, Hachette Nashville
“Sam O’Neal has proven to be an incredibly competent editor on all of my clients’ projects on which he has worked. In addition, Sam has been an excellent collaborator on each project I have asked him to work, and my clients have been very pleased with his work. I highly recommend Sam’s services to anyone thinking about hiring him.”
— Sealy Yates, Senior Partner, Yates & Yates
“In 20 years of writing and almost as many books, Sam is one of my favorite editors. He’s also one of the best. Easy to work with. A keen eye for detail. Able to see the big picture and not lose sight of it. He’s also speaks my language—which means he is able to help me see what I’m not seeing and describe it in a way that makes sense. A rare and genuine gift. Bottom line, he’s made me a better writer, made my books better, and I would recommend him without reservation.”
— Charles Martin, New York Times bestselling author of The Mountain Between Us, Send Down the Rain, The Water Keeper, and more.
“Sam O’Neal is one of the most talented writers and editors with whom I’ve had the privilege of working. He approaches each project with creativity and skill, and whether completing substantive editing, ghostwriting, book doctoring, or more, there was no task assigned to Sam that he couldn’t handle expertly and efficiently. His skill set is unique in that he can capture an author’s voice and help weave a powerful narrative arc, yet he can also masterfully write and edit highly prescriptive and theologically heavy pieces. Sam’s own writing experiences help him connect with the authors he edits, and his ability to help them understand and write to their audiences creates an experience full of trust and collaboration.”
— Megan Dobson, Associate Publisher and Acquisitions Editor with the W Publishing Group, HarperCollins
“Having worked collaboratively in the past with Sam O’Neal, I highly recommend his work. If you have a project where you need assistance writing, editing, or arranging content, Sam is your guy. He is great to work with, expeditious in his production, and clear in his communication. I look forward to working with him again on future projects.”
— Vance Pitman, Senior Pastor of Hope Church, Las Vegas, and author of Unburdened
“Sam understands my vision for publishing success, and he’s able to implement it in manuscripts. I couldn’t ask for more in an editor and collaborator.”
— Brian Vos, Senior Acquisitions Editor at Baker Books
