"As an author, I have published more than eighty books with several top publishers, and my experience with Andrew Yackira has been one of the best in my writing life. Andrew is extremely professional, quick to take action, and very helpful in shaping the manuscript and making it more marketable. I would recommend Andrew to anyone who wants first-class editorial work.”
—Brian Tracy, bestselling author of Eat That Frog!
"Andrew does it all. As my editor he was fully engaged in every aspect of the publication process, and three years later remains interested and involved. What a bonus that his expertise, honesty, and steadfast work ethic come laced with a terrific sense of humor. Publishing a book ought to be a positive and fun ride. Andrew guarantees just that."
—Marietta McCarty, New York Times-bestselling author of Little Big Minds, How Philosophy Can Save Your Life, and The Philosopher's Table
"Andrew Yackira is a wonderful editor. He understands author concerns as well as publisher concerns, and knows how to balance the art and passion of authors with the commercial concerns of the industry."
—Bill Gladstone, author and agent to Eckhart Tolle, Neale Donald Walsch, et al.
"Andrew’s years of experience as a book editor allowed him to easily guide me through the publishing process of my first book. His literary skills and humor made my work stronger and more appealing to a wider audience. I can't express enough how Andrew made my first publishing experience better than anything I could have possibly imagined."
—Domenick Dicce, author of You're a Vampire: That Sucks!
"Andrew has the seminal gift of helping an author assess what aspects of their work will honor the core of their project, while best resonating with the audience they're trying to reach. This expertise helped guide me through both books I had the pleasure of working on with Andrew, in a process that was as seamless as it was enjoyable. Andrew also has deep patience and kindness—traits that are essential as an author when you're in the weeds on a draft and haven't interacted with humans for weeks on end. I consider him a dear friend, and was deeply lucky to have him as an editor."
—John C. Havens, author of Hacking H(app)iness and Heartificial Intelligence
