“John Stuart is an amazing editor, helpful, insightful, and encouraging. He is knowledgeable about the publishing process and, in my experience of publishing several books with him, willing to work with authors to produce the best possible product.”
Sandra Waddock, Galligan Chair of Strategy and Professor of Management, Boston College
“I have worked with John on four book projects over the past almost 15 years. He has always been a helpful and understanding editor; deeply committed to our projects; and ready to engage, listen, explain and challenge as appropriate.”
Professor David Grayson, CBE; Director of the Doughty Centre for Corporate Responsibility, Cranfield University
“It was a true pleasure working with John on my recent book. From the start, he was interested, thoughtful, and willing to give useful input both on specifics and on broader issues. He was open to innovation too. I felt I had more support from him than I have had from any publisher during the process of developing a book.”
Kathryn Goldman Schuyler, Alliant International University; Coherent Change
