Justin and I worked together on the book proposal for my latest book in the self-help and motivational category. His insight and ability to put the book together was very helpful. We worked closely together and met several times to get the content on paper. I enjoyed working with him and found him to be easy to talk to, and dedicated to writing a great book. Since I am a boxer first and not a professional writer, it was great having a true professional come in and work to help me tell my story. I would recommend Justin to anyone who has a great story to tell and needs help bringing it to life. He is a real knock out of a writer.

I am deeply grateful to Justin Spizman who helped me to conceptualize, layout, and create my first book, We Rise. As a first time author, it was essential to have his experience and guidance throughout the entire process. He was responsive, engaged, and worked with my busy travel schedule to get We Rise done. We worked under a crazy timeframe, but feel confident that the final product will inspire many to step up as leaders to protect the Earth on behalf of future generations that will inherit it. I would happily recommend him to anyone thinking about or starting a book project.

I had a pleasure working with Justin. From the very beginning he laid out a realistic and thorough plan of action in order for us to write the book that I envisioned. He was timely and creative, and also brought a sense of comfort with his expertise in all aspects of creating and publishing a book. More than anything, Justin was personable and a joy to collaborate with. I couldn’t be more proud of the final product and appreciate the attention and effort he showed, Hometown Victory.
Coach Keanon Lowe

As a seventeen year-old girl, my biggest concern during the search for an experienced author to work with was finding someone who was going to be able to capture my personality on paper. Justin truly makes his clients such a huge part of the process and puts so much effort into finding the perfect way to convey your message in your voice. He was a wonderful asset to our team and I am so happy with the finished product

While this unique professional approach helps to build confidence, his comfortable personality also makes it fun.

I would recommend his services without hesitation.
Jake Steinfeld

Rodale recently hired Justin to work on a high profile project with an extremely tight deadline. He jumped right in, and worked closely with the Author to co-author a tremendous book. He met deadlines, communicated extremely well with both the Author and Publisher, and delivered a wonderful manuscript that was ready for publication. I was very impressed with his work ethic, writing, and management of the project and all of its moving pieces.
Jennifer Levesque
Editorial Director at Disney Publishing Worldwide
We all have thoughts, ideas, opinions, experiences and stories tucked away in our minds. It was Justin Spizman that helped “draw the map” and guide the way. Justin had heard my story, seen my resume, and envisioned a book. He encouraged me from the start and helped build the blueprint that kept me on track throughout the process. He laid out a clear picture in pursuit of a publisher and it landed McGraw-Hill. He put forth a plan to keep us on schedule and produced a manuscript a month ahead of our deadline. His understanding of the business and calm approach made it very easy for me to turn my thoughts and ideas into words that expressed a clear understanding of the components of team building.I would highly recommend and endorse Justin to help write your own story; whether as a first time author or best seller. From my own experience you’ll be very pleased with both the final product and the process to get you there.

Justin Spizman is a fantastic ghostwriter and content editor. I refer many of my Authors to him and they all rave about his talent and ability. He is dedicated to the collaborative process and ensures the end product is a great one.

I can confidently recommend Justin and his services to any Author in need of a best-selling and award winning talent.

Justin knows what it takes to create a highly marketable book in this crowded and noisy marketplace and fully devotes himself to making his writing projects illuminating, informative and entertaining.

Peggy McColl
New York Times Best-Selling Author
To put in the simplest terms possible: Justin Spizman delivers. For almost a year, I sent countless book proposals to different agents to no avail. Not only was there no interest, I rarely received a reply. After hiring Justin, I had obtained representation within three weeks. A few months later, with the agent’s help, and Justin’s help on my proposal, I landed a book deal with a highly respected publisher. I couldn’t have asked for a better result.

Bill Handwerker
Author of Nathan's Famous: 100 Years Legacy & Lessons
Justin was an integral part of bringing my book, Brokering Billions, to life. He helped to guide me through conceptualizing the book, then executing on a first draft that laid the groundwork for the book today. Justin was responsive, attentive, and was able to grab the words out of my head and put them on paper.
Bonneau Ansley
Author of Brokering Billions: Secret's of the Nation's Top Real Estate Agents
As a first-time author, I can’t imagine my book getting finished without working with Justin. His knowledge and expertise kept my project on track and gave me the accountability to be disciplined in my writing. He is extremely professional and timely in all accounts and as a bonus, the entire process was fun! Everyone has a book in them, and I believe Justin is especially gifted to help bring our ideas out to the world.
Marilyn Adams
San Antonio Spur's Director of Rehabilitation and Author of Posture in the Real World
I hired Justin to help me conceptualize and create my first book on scaling and building business. In a world unfamiliar to me, Justin was remarkably helpful and understanding of my ideas. We worked closely together to craft a thoughtful and impactful journey for my readers, walking them through the undeniable steps it takes to double your business every single year. I have sold billions of dollars of property over the course of my career, but writing books is not like selling homes. I am thankful I had Justin with me along the way.

As a fellow lawyer in the community, Justin was the perfect fit to help me lay out and then edit my book on handling Dog Bite cases. As an expert looking to educate other lawyers while building my own platform as one of the leading attorney’s in representing citizens injured in dog attacks, this book is a labor of love that I know will serve the legal community well. Together, we have created a book that will help lawyers overcome the challenges of dog bite cases and recover for injured Plaintiffs.
David Zagoria
Dog Bite Attorney and Author of A Plaintiff Attorney’s Guide to Successfully Winning Dog Bite Cases
I would highly recommend working with Justin. When I first met Justin at an Author seminar, I only had the vague idea that I wanted to write a book and no real direction on how to do so. Justin gave me the direction and the tools to help turn my thoughts and writings into an actual book. Writing a book is an art and Justin is a very talented artist. Everyone has great ideas in my experience, but sometimes we need a professional like Justin to actually execute them. I’m certain my book would have remained unfinished today if not for Justin’s coaching and his commitment to making me stay accountable for my writing deadlines. Writing a book is like any worthy task, it takes a lot of work and dedication. As a first-time author I can’t overstate the importance of having someone like Justin in your ring.
Kenton Geer
Commercial Fisherman and Author of Vicious Cycle: Whiskey, Women and Water
Working with Justin was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. He certainly helped me grow my craft as an author. His questions challenged me and inspired me to reach deep within. Justin was passionate about helping me convey my message to the world in a way that was authentically me. He pays attention to detail, is a wonderful communicator, and exudes the knowledge, insight, and forward thinking ability necessary to help others achieve their desired result. Justin brought my book to life and I am forever grateful for his guidance.

The developmental editing and coaching was invaluable. He has a gift for bringing out the stories within us and helping to shape them into a winning narrative that resonates with readers. I would not hesitate to partner with Justin again.
Engelina Jaspers
Author of Marketing Flexology: How to Outsmart Change and Future-proof Your Career

Justin guided me on the structure of the book that best brought out my intentions. He provided great editorial feedback including an incredible line-editing when it was ready. As an added benefit, I have learned that Justin has a very solid reputation in the publishing industry. I received direct feedback like, “I knew if Justin was involved, I was going to get a very clean book.” Every one of the publishers I reached out to knew Justin and shared very positive feedback with me. I couldn’t be happier. I would definitely work with Justin on my next book and would refer anyone writing a book to Justin at any time.
Bob Taylor

As a first time author, I needed guidance in every category of writing. I was so fortunate to be referred to Justin Spizman who quickly started me on a disciplined and constructive path. Justin assured me that I had a unique and compelling story to tell, and helped me organize my time, thoughts and efforts to achieve my goal. He was always available when I needed additional support. Justin was a great coach, and a gentle editor. I never doubted or regretted any of his recommendations.

As successful songwriters, we thought we could just sit down and write a book. We understood how to write a compelling narrative. What could be difficult? The short answer is EVERYTHING is difficult if you want to write a GOOD book. We worked on it for a year before we found Justin. We realized we weren’t asking the right questions of ourselves and having Justin guide us through the important steps of writing for our intended audience made all the difference. He brought a priceless perspective and proven process that allowed us to focus our writing in a way that delivered the big ideas and takeaways we wanted to provide. He kept us on track with specific assignments and detailed feedback that allowed us to meet our goals. Best decision and smartest investment we ever made.
Brant Menswar & Jim Trick
Authors of Rock ’N’ Roll With It: Overcoming the Challenge of Change
Justin did an excellent job of managing the editorial process of a complex book. We essentially had four books in one, and he helped us think through how to structure it in the most effective way possible, bringing discipline to the editorial process. His questions and suggestions helped clarify and refine our message, and his contribution certainly helped produce a better organized and better structured work—and most importantly, a work that was more likely to resonate with the audiences it was targeting. His contribution is much appreciated.

I had the fortune of meeting Justin a few years ago at a writer’s conference. He impressed me with his knowledge of the writing and publishing processes, as well as his communication skills. I hired Justin to edit my first full book – he did not disappoint! Justin demonstrated his knowledge by not only editing the book for errors, but also helped change the structure of the content so that it would be more effective. He is a true professional and I will be working with him again.
Ed DeCosta
Coach, Mentor, Speaker, Entrepreneur, and Author of Ascend
Justin Spizman collaborated with me to architect my book entitled Destination Success. We worked together from the beginning, and his process is an extremely thoughtful and organized one. He helped to bring my book to life, and I couldn’t be happier with the result. Without hesitation, I would recommend Justin and his services to anyone out there on the cusp of writing a book. I have worked with book editors in the past, but it was really hard to make them understand exactly what I wanted. Justin got it right the first time. This not only saved lot of my time and energy, but I was able to complete the book quickly and exactly the way I wanted.
Sri Gaddam
CEO and Author of Destination Success
Justin made my manuscript more readable, organized, and accessible. His work greatly enhanced the final product. He was a pleasure to work with from beginning to end. I will use him again for my next book.

Justin’s work on my book Calling Up has been essential to me creating my best work possible. I would not have the confidence I have today in my book if it wasn’t for his support, feedback, and edits. He helped me transform my book from a good book to a great book and I look forward to working with him in the future!
J.P. Nerbun
Motivational Speaker and Author of Calling Up: Discovering Your Journey to Transformational Leadership
Justin helped me take what was in my heart and soul and put it into book form. I have always had a dream of writing a book, but I didn’t even know where to begin. Justin created the path for me, and then challenged me to bring out a new level of writing along the way. Because of Justin, not only did I write the book of my dreams, but I became a better writer in the process.
Christen Shefchunas
Olympic Swim Coach and Author of Naked Confidence
I believe an author needs to tell their story. Many authors struggle to come up with content. I had exactly the opposite problem. I had tons of content but it was disorganized and felt overwhelming. I was afraid I could not portray my message clearly. Justin helped me conceptualize my latest book to put my thoughts into a logical system to make the book flow. After I wrote Bridging Medicine and Miracles, he did the complete edit. I could not be happier with the outcome. Justin is easy to work with, professional, and always honored his deadlines and commitments. I highly recommend him.Justin helped me take what was in my heart and soul and put it into book form. I have always had a dream of writing a book, but I didn’t even know where to begin.
Susan Jeffrey Busen

I want to thank Justin Spizman for his exhaustive work editing the 40 Unbreakable Laws of Money. It was a pleasure working with him perfecting each chapter throughout the many months of the editing process. His talents preparing the book for the final submission to my publisher was critical in the debut time of the book.
Wayne Wakefield
Financial Expert and Author of 40 Unbreakable Laws of Money: Laws for Business, Success and Life
Justin is a dream mentor and editor for both the seasoned writer and the novice! My co-author and I started this journey as two TV news anchors who wanted to write a book but knew very little about the process. Justin patiently guided us through the process and was spot-on about what publishers wanted in a proposal. We tackled a subject matter that would send most men running but Justin didn’t skip a beat. I think his involvement in Where the Bleep Is the Stork? shows his incredible diversity as an editor and professional. He’s been called the guy’s guy author, but it turns out he is also the girl’s guy editor! Any writer would be in great hands working alongside this best-selling author.
Kim Fettig-Bartlett
Television Anchor, Media Personality, and Author of Where the *#@! Is The Stork
It’s been about 45 days since you put your magic touch to my book and I can clearly say your work made the difference that made the difference. Working with you was a dream come true because I had a vision of what was possible but did not know how to get there. I sent you my manuscript and you got to work immediately. Every week I could count on you to do what you said you would do. Your editing talent and ability to take my insights and communicate them in a way that was easy to understand and enjoy was pivotal to the success of the book. Justin-thank you from the bottom of my heart for pouring your beautiful heart into my book. The Willing Warrior: Unleashing The Secret Power of Kokoro is already selling well above my wildest imagination. Thank you again.
Joe Stumpf
Author of The Willing Warrior and Founder of By Referral Only
There is so much more to writing a book than simply putting words on paper. I don’t think that my lawyer marketing book ever would have been completed without Justin’s encouragement, editorial guidance, text editing and help with choosing a publisher. I recommend him without reservations to all aspiring authors.
Jonathan Ginsberg
Attorney and Author of Effective Video Marketing for the Small and Mid-Sized Law Firm
Justin was so much more than an editor. He is a source of positive encouragement, creative ideas, and strong resources- all of which have truly kept me going through this writing process. On top of that, he communicated regularly throughout the engagement, and continues to provide me with the support that I need. With Justin’s expertise, I was able to construct a book proposal that I’m proud of. I couldn’t imagine working with anyone else.
Ashley Hannani
Cardiovascular Sonographer and Author of The Untold
Justin is a guy’s guy in all the best ways – and this is coming from the feminine perspective! When you’re working intensely together, lively banter keeps up morale and reminds us we’re on the same team. He takes the same approach to writing projects as I do with my executive consulting and coaching clients – a collaboration based on mutual respect and an unwavering dedication to achieving the goal. His style is straightforward, reflective, decisive and precise – exactly the traits a writer seeks in an editor and consultant when reaching for the highest levels of clarity and expression. Although he is superb at sifting through options to determine the best strategy, Justin digs in and maintains a disciplined schedule – he knows and demonstrates that it’s the only way to sustain focus. He has an exceptional ability to explore different modes of working together, and can deftly shift from one to another to maintain momentum. Whether brainstorming together, or editing independently, he keeps the ball moving forward, but knows whent to stop and make sure it’s moving in the right direction.

Justin Spizman was instrumental and a critical key component in helping me get my book completed.

Justin immediately took the reins and went above and beyond with his amazing eye for detail and profound input. He helped develop a more robust and impeccable manuscript. Justin is the utmost professional, fast, reliable, an excellent communicator, and an absolute dream to work with. If you want exceptional talent, Justin Spizman is definitely your go-to guy.
Siobhan McKenna

Lynn Carson
Stone Television Anchor, Media Personality, and Author of Where the *#@! Is The Stork
No doubt, Justin Spizman has a way with words – the kind of words and direction I desperately needed. After being connected through a mutual author friend, I immediately realized Justin’s talent in both writing and editing and fearlessly committed to partnering with him on my first book. His passion for the written word, keen editing eye, and willingness to provide direct feedback were the exact characteristics I needed in an Editor. His process was a perfect match for my personal style, allowing me to stay true to my vernacular, yet challenge my thinking when he disagreed on direction or just to offer up an alternative. I can honestly say that Justin Spizman made me a better writer. He’s a total rock star!

One of the most important things I did to turn my dream or writing my book into a reality was hire Justin. He did what I had been trying to do for years. He focused and structured all my creative ideas into a wonderful proposal that fits me perfectly. He quieted my fears about losing my voice” and worked with me to get the job done and that is priceless. Doing it on my own was not getting it done. Thank goodness I had the good sense to hire him!
Meredith Thomas

Justin’s enthusiasm, professionalism and quality of workmanship is unsurpassed. I look forward to working with this talented author in the very near future and am extremely grateful for his friendship and kindness throughout our time together working on this project. A heartfelt thank you, Justin.
Janet-Lynn Morrison
Author of Million Dollar Soup
How many of us have a dream to write a book but never actually believe we can write it? How many of us started writing that first book only to hide it from others and not believe in it ourselves because we know it just wasn’t good enough? That was most definitely the situation I found myself in when I had the good fortune to meet Justin. I knew I had a good idea and a healthy dose of passion about the subject. What I didn’t have was confidence in myself to write the book. The most important thing Justin did was to give me the confidence to find my voice and the author within. He quickly figured out exactly what I needed in terms of structure and support which made the book project less daunting and more doable for me. We kicked off the project the day before Thanksgiving and a little over three months later, with his guidance, I had completed a book that I am so proud of. I am truly thankful for Justin’s efforts on my behalf. He’s incredible at what he does.
Ruth Ross

Writing a book was on my bucket list for some time. I attempted, on numerous occasions , to start. However, I never really got into the groove. When I made the decision to take massive action, I found Justin. He calls himself the ‘Book Architect’, and he lives us to his name. Justin kept me on task, focused and most all, he encouraged me to tell my story in my own words. I know for a fact that I would not be publishing without the help and guidance from Justin. If you are thinking about writing your book, the first call you should make is to Justin.
Robert Swymer
Executive and Author of Finding Your Destiny and Life Purpose Through Adversity
The world is hungry for the Truth… or more accurately, a Truthful Person and his First Cousin Honesty. Let me introduce you to Truth’s First Cousin, Justin Spizman. Justin Spizman is honest. His good character manifests itself with genuine reliability, surrounded by the truth, and processed with clarified instructions. In my overwhelming inadequacy and effort to get a simple 62 page eBook edited and up on Kindle, Justin swam by. I met many fish along the way who baited me with truth and caught me in their net of personal gain. But it was Justin who said exactly what he would do, when he would complete it and he delivered. There are many attorneys in this world but Justin is one of the few.
Greta Kay
Author of Peril at Penawawa Creek
Justin’s work literally brought tears to my eyes. It was an amazing journey together, and I am thankful for his edits and feedback. He helped me bring a beautiful story to life and share magical moments with the world. Without him, the magic would have just remained in my mind.
Gina Kloes
Author, International Speaker, and Success Coach
Rarely is one able to find someone that does exactly what they say they will do and within the timeframe agreed upon. Justin Spizman did exactly that as editor of my book, The Insider’s Guide To Las Vegas. The editing period was grueling for both of us, but we were able to meet the book distributors deadline. The manuscript had many rough edges and Justin’s editing process was superb. The completed manuscript exceeded expectations. It was a pleasure working with Justin during the entire editing process. I am looking forward to our next project.
Titus Nelson
Author of The Insider’s Guide To Las Vegas

Justin is an outstanding partner and collaborator who helped make the experience of writing my first book so enjoyable that I can’t wait to do it again.

Justin is not only a prolific business editor, he is also an inspirational book coach. He helped me with the usual editing work but most importantly, he was my coach & partner throughout our writing process. Our partnership enlightened me through this journey of discovering my writing voice, which ultimately motivated me to look forward to writing until this book is completed. Thank you Justin.

The Art of Human Resources: An Insider's Guide to Influencing Your Culture
Working with Justin was easy and enjoyable. Being a first time author, I was anxious about working with an experienced author and editor. Justin was very clear on what could be expected and what the time line was. He pushed me to think outside of my comfort zone and add the ‘why’ to my content (which was much needed). When I received the edits, I thought to myself, I couldn’t have said it better myself. I would highly recommend Justin to anyone who wants to make their book better and ready for publishing. I appreciate the encouraging words he had about my writing style and I hope that I get the chance to work with him again.

Originally, decades ago, I asked a best selling well known author to write my story. She never received my letter and I let the project go. I didn’t know how my story would be told, but I knew that it would be a wonderful closure for me if my successes were shared in a book. I would love to feel that I was helping others with sharing the pain that I had survived. I was excited when Justin Spizman said yes” to ghostwriting/editing my story. He enhanced what I wrote and when I read Exit Stage Left, the story was still very much in my own words. The topics that I wrote about would not be easy to shine a beautiful light on, but Justin did it. Thank you, Justin. I highly recommend the wonderful way you brought my story into a publishable form.

It was a pleasure to work with Justin on my successful book, The Common Thread of Overcoming Adversity and Living Your Dreams. He helped to develop the content, enhance the interviews, and then tie everything together and package it. As he worked through the content, it was clear Justin cared deeply for the overall success of the book and worked hard to take feedback and direction. I would recommend Justin to anyone in need of a strong developmental editor to get their book to the finish line in no time.

Justin Spizman is the absolute best editor/ghostwriter. I worked with Justin on my first book and was so very happy and thankful for his constant source of great creative ideas and helpful suggestions for this book, and his ability to teach me how to be a storyteller by putting my thoughts and experiences into words. I strongly recommend working with Justin. You will definitely be a happy writer!”

I hear other authors grip about the process of writing a book and don’t get it. I worked with Justin on Never Kick a Cow Chip on a Hot Day—Real Lessons for Real CEOs and Those Who Want to Be” and had a blast! I ended up with a great product, and had a fun and professional relationship with Justin. He is collaborative, instructional and insightful. He allowed my message to get across while making sure that I didn’t run off the rails. I’d would recommend him to first—time as well as seasoned authors who want someone to act as a supportive partner.

When I decided to write my first book, I knew I was going to need an expert to help me get it done. As I began to ask people throughout the industry who had the expertise and patience to coach a new author such as myself, one name kept coming up–Justin Spizman. From our very first conversation, I knew Justin was a great fit. Not only did he help me take my idea and form it into the outline for a book, but he also coached me through every chapter while offering feedback on every word. From that point on, I knew I was in good hands. Justin was as determined as I was to create a book we both would be proud of. If you are looking to turn your book idea into a reality, then Justin Spizman is the expert you need to talk to.

We are first time authors and had no idea where to turn for help with our manuscript. Our publisher suggested three editors to us and that’s how we found Justin. We were very fortunate in that. The editing process was not easy for us. Our medium was satire and our subject matter was challenging. We had a unique style and it took some time for us to get on the same page with Justin. But he pulled his weight and more during the process. So here’s what we can say about our experience. First, Justin was relentlessly engaged in making our manuscript excellent. He brought great expertise to the process and listened and responded to every issue we raised. He was excellent and timely in all his communication and work. He helped us see what an author is too close to their words to see. The bottom line is that our manuscript went through a very valuable transformation and we are very pleased with the final product. Thank you Justin for helping two neophytes through the critical process of editing. We are so grateful for your work.

Justin was more than a book architect for me. He was my advocate, mentor, coach, and friend. It was one of those situations where I was skeptical to start, and then had one of those ah ha moments in the midst of it thinking – what would I be doing without him! Justin was always patient and understanding, mixed with just the right amount of tough love and reality checks. I watched my manuscript become completely transformed throughout this process, and I believe the final product is beyond anything I could have done on my own. He combines a stellar work ethic with personal attention, and I recommend him to anyone who wants above average, exceptional results.

I am so thankful that I hired Justin as the Content Editor for my book The Power of Things Unseen. He was amazing and this is why. One day I just sat down and started writing. I had no real plan for my book. In fact I did not even realize I was writing a book in the beginning. It sort of happened. It just poured out of me, raw, unbridled and unedited. When I was done, I presented Justin with a story that required corralling into order. He helped me do that beautifully. By asking all the right questions and with great insight, he gently directed me until I found what the true message of my book was. He helped me take it apart, remove the unnecessary chatter, and put it back together again. He taught me that my story was not really about me at all. In fact it was about my reader. That made all the difference. It turned my story into a book. I will forever be thankful to Justin for that direction and insight. I highly recommend working with Justin as he will enable the writer to make their work a true best-seller.

Justin walked me through every step of the writing process and helped me to reconstruct my book in a way that really resonates with a lot of people. Without his guidance I would have been totally lost. He helped me get to the heart of the matter and drew ideas and words out of me that I had no idea were even in there. What a gift he is!”

Working with Justin is like having someone take a bunch of loose-leaf pages that have been scattered by the wind and reorganizing them in an effective and productive manner. He is smart and clever, a good coach and great communicator. My book would have never come together without his advice, guidance, and thoughtful support.

The insights, creativity, and professionalism Justin Spizman brought to my book Split Harmony, truly made it a more impacting read than it ever would have been without his input. Justin was easy to work with and I felt like we made a great team throughout the process. His vision, expertise, passion, and how much he cared about making my book the best it could be was clearly evident. ‘Book Architect’ is such an appropriate descriptive term for the value Justin has to offer anyone who needs to solidify their book project and to make it the best it can be. Saying ‘Thank you Justin’ merely begins to describe the gratitude I have for the difference Justin made for me and for Split Harmony.
