TESTIMONIALS

“Working with Seth has been a fantastic experience all around. He’s a strong editor and a sharp thinker with a unique ability to take a text and push it in exciting new directions. A first-rate collaborator; I’d recommend him to anyone.”
— Martin Fletcher, NBC News correspondent and Tel Aviv bureau chief

“I have referred many authors to The Providence Word and Thought Company and the results have always been stellar, leading to many successfully published books. With each project, The Providence Word and Thought Company has demonstrated terrific communication, unwavering dedication, genuine sensitivity, and a wonderful amount of flexibility - all key ingredients to a winning collaboration. I recommend them wholeheartedly and without reservation.”
— Lorin Rees, Helen Rees Literary Agency

“I highly recommend the Providence Word and Thought Company. Seth’s exceptional story-telling skills helped bring my material alive. My book, No Man’s Land, is everything I hoped it would be—and writing it with Seth was such great fun!”
—Doug Tatum, Chairman Emeritus, Tatum LLC

“If you want a writing partner who’s keenly invested in your work, look no farther. Seth spends a great deal of time understanding the author’s vision, and with that insight in hand, he pushes the narrative to amazing heights. I particularly enjoyed our healthy debate and discussions. You won’t conclude a collaborative experience with Seth wondering if you could have unpacked all the different dimensions of your work. My only choice for future projects!!”
—Steve Pemberton, author of the forthcoming book “A Chance in the World” (Thomas Nelson)

“Exceeds expectations. Those two words continue repeating every time someone asks me for a Seth Schulman recommendation. Seth always exceeds expectations. And not just for me. I’ve referred Seth Schulman to clients and friends, and they, too, repeat what I now call the Seth Schulman mantra: Seth exceeds expectations. Seth is the consummate professional. He adeptly balances the client’s need for creative input and prolific output, and he does both effortlessly. I am happy discussing Seth’s work further; however, you will certainly grow weary of hearing me proclaim what sounds too much like a broken record: Seth Schulman will always exceed your expectations.”
— Robbie Vorhaus, consultant, coach, and author of the forthcoming book “One Less, One More”

“Seth brings together all facets of communication. From sharpening an initial concept, to crafting an overall message, to articulating an argument in written form, his words take an idea and give it real life. His passion and zeal has allowed him to take our story of a mid-sized public transportation system that provides a very basic public service, and tell it in a way that interested multiple major publishers and ultimately landed us a sizaeable book deal.”
— Mark Aesch, Chief Executive Officer, Rochester Genesee Regional Transportation Authority

“We came to Seth with an idea for a white paper in spring ‘09. In fact, we had written one already, and we thought we wanted him to simply “tighten it up,” add some data points, or some research perhaps. Seth had a different idea, and fortunately for us, we listened. Seth worked efficiently, he worked thoughtfully—and he delivered a great product that will serve us well for a long time.”
— Matt Shaw, Senior Vice President and Director of Communications, Council of Public Relations Firms

“Working with Seth has transformed my writing. He has helped me with everything from the proper placing of a semicolon to figuring out backstory to fleshing out the motivations of secondary characters. He is consistently positive, encouraging, diplomatic, and a wonderful sounding board. He has amazing creative instincts that are almost always right. I truly don’t know what I’d do without him!”
— Coaching Client, New York City

“The Providence Word and Thought Company coached us extraordinarily well. They had a deft touch with language, phenomenal ideas about how best to structure arguments, and an exceptional understanding of the audience we were trying to reach. They were professional and a pleasure work with. I look forward to working with them again.”
—Christine Porath, Professor, Marshall School of Business

“My co-author and I originally hired Seth to help refine our non-fiction book proposal. With Seth’s insightful assistance, we landed a book deal with a top press. Then, as we put the book together, Seth again proved invaluable by sharpening our thoughts through rephrasing and reorganizing, tossing entire droning sections, and interjecting just the right questions to pull us in fresh directions. Add to this, he never overpowered our style nor mucked essential insights. Whatever its strengths, the book would not be what it is today without Seth’s touch.”
—Christine Pearson, Professor, Thunderbird School of Global Management

“Seth has a unique talent, and I am grateful to have had the opportunity to experience it first hand.”
— Nick Sarillo, founder, Nick’s Pizza & Pub and author, “A Slice of the Pie” (Portfolio, forthcoming 2012)
