A short list of books I acquired and edited
as well as some endorsements from authors and other industry professionals:

Andy worked with me on my latest book. Without his help the book would have been nowhere near as well-written. During the first edit he raised hundreds of questions that made it more readable, then he came to Florida for several days to help me organize the book. His contributions were significant and I hate to think what the book would have been without his help.
- Ed Dobson, author of The Year of Living Like Jesus

I've had the privilege of working with some excellent editors over the course of a career in which I've managed to support myself exclusively as an author. When I was first starting out, I was edited by Richard Marek (Robert Ludlum's editor), then by Juris Jurjevics who founded The Soho Press and who has written successful novels himself. I was also edited by the late Tom Congdon, who edited Jaws and Midnight Express among many other best sellers.

Andy Meisenheimer was my editor for my latest three spy thrillers. I can honestly say that Andy's skills are equal to if not superior to the others I just mentioned. Run my name through a search at Amazon.com and look at the reader reviews for Conspiracy In Kiev, Midnight in Madrid and eventually Countdown in Cairo; I credit Andy with launching the series successfully, helping me keep the stories smooth and quickly paced, and having a keen eye on what works line to line as well as overall in a novel.

These days, it is more difficult than ever to get published. A professional eye on a manuscript before submission and a guiding hand through the submission process by someone who knows the business is often the difference between acceptance and rejection from a publisher. Andy knows books and knows the business. I don't know anyone I would currently recommend more highly to work with on the successful creation of a published manuscript.
- Noel Hynd, author of Flowers From Berlin, Ghosts, Cemetery of Angels, The Enemy Within.

Andy has taken my writing from good to great. He's pushed me far beyond what I thought I could accomplish in my stories. He's smart, wise, instinctive, and spot on in his editorial assessments. If I could have every single book I ever write edited by Andy, I would be truly satisfied.
- Mary DeMuth, author of Daisy Chain, A Slow Burn and the memoir Thin Places

Andy was much more than just my editor, he was my Humor Accountability Partner. I knew that if I tried to turn in anything that was only mildly funny, Andy would be there to challenge me, stretch me and ultimately amplify the writing. I am a huge fan of Andy and the considerable awesomeness he generously offers.
- Jonathan Acuff, author of Stuff Christians Like and blogger at stuffchristianslike.net

Andy is an excellent editor who is very dedicated to his craft. His grasp of literary and satirical styles is a particular gift that he has passed on to the books under his care, Andy is creative, imaginative, and will take every book he works on to the next level, challenging the writer to be the best they can be. And the authors he acquires love him! I enjoyed working with Andy and highly recommend him as an editor.
- Sue Brower, Executive Editor, Zondervan

Andy Meisenheimer is a forward-thinking editor with a keen sense for quality writing. I partnered with him on many projects, both fiction and nonfiction, and was always impressed by his understanding of the market and his ability to relate with a diverse group of authors. His editorial style is sharp and insightful, respectful of the author's unique voice and committed to helping it come through in the best way.
- Beth Jusino, literary agent

Andy Meisenheimer is a terrific editor who was very instrumental in the publishing of my first novel Angel Fall. He is forward-thinking with a deep understanding of the book publishing business. I would recommend him to anyone in need of help in getting a manuscript ready to sell.
- Coleman Luck, television producer and writer and Great Poobah of the Sierra Nevada Mountains who sits ensconced on huge piles of paper that he hilariously claims is the manuscript of a novel

I've worked with Andy on three books and every time I'm amazed by his instincts for storytelling. He takes good stories and pushes them until they're great fiction.
- Rob Stennett, author of The End Is Now and The Almost True Story of Ryan Fisher

Andy is a valuable asset to any company, author, or team. His writing skills, knowledge of writing, and passion for books is unparalleled. He possesses the willingness to go not just the extra mile, but across an extra state or two in order to get an end product that is the best it can be. Not only is he a talented writer himself, but he knows the craft of writing and knows how to guide others so they can accurately reflect their voice in print. As an editor, he wholly embraces that role of being an advocate for both the reader and the author. Authors love working with him, and colleagues will appreciate his attention to detail, sense of humor, and excitement for each project.
- Becky Philpott, Editor at Zondervan

Andy Meisenheimer is more than an editor. He's a devoted student of the craft, a mentor, a teacher, a storyteller, a real pro-one with the rare ability to coax more out of a story than its teller ever imagined. I trusted Andy with both of my novels and he made them betterÉand he did so without sacrificing my original vision or voice. He stretched my thinking, sometimes till it hurt. But I'm a better writer today because of Andy.
- Michael Snyder, author of My Name Is Russell Fink and Return Policy

I worked with Andy on several projects and learned so much from him about essentials aspects of fiction. What he taught me about point of view is a very important part of all my work now, fiction and non-fiction. All you have to do to see how much his editing meant to me is to check out my reviews. Thanks to Andy, they are top shelf.

I have never heard of Andrew Meisenheimer.
