– Mary Kelly, author of Why Leaders Fail
“A talented writer and merciless editor, Chris helps me to express exactly what I want to say in clear, cogent and compelling language.”
– Rafael Ramirez, author of Designing Interactive Strategy and Prime Movers
“Chris is very attentive to details and very respectful of the meanings I may have tried to convey. Being a non-English native writer, his expertise was of huge value to me! I am happy to recommend him as a writer and editor.“
– Isabel Rimanoczy, author of The Sustainability Mindset Principles
“Chris Murray made Better! better, seriously. He took what could have been an amateurish first attempt at a book and helped mold it into a #1 bestseller. He called me out on a couple of my missteps. And when I made the Journalism 101 mistake of burying the lead, he unburied it and dialed in the tone for the rest of the book.”
– Terry Lancaster, author of Better! Self Help For the Rest of Us
“Chris ‘got’ my book right from the start and was an amazing collaborator, organizer and advocate for my ideas.”
– David Newman, author of Do It! Marketing and Do It! Speaking
“For you aspiring or experienced authors — especially those of you who, like me, HATE to be edited — meet editor extraordinaire, Christopher Murray. I would rehire Chris on my own in a heartbeat.”
– David Newman, author of Do It! Marketing and Do It! Speaking
“Chris is an expert at his craft. His guidance in how to structure my book made the difference between describing the same character over and over again and truly capturing the voice and experiences of each leader’s story. Along the way, I felt he cared about the quality of the manuscript and the end result just as much as I did. I highly recommend Chris to every author.”
– Bonnie Artman Fox, Bestselling Author, How Did My Family Get In My Office?!
“Chris Murray has been a valued collaborator on two of my books. I have referred him to various clients who have all been delighted with his professionalism and care.”
– Rafael Ramirez, author of Designing Interactive Strategy and Prime Movers

– Isabel Rimanoczy, co-author of Action Reflection Learning
“Strange as it may seem, to understand the future, you may want to revisit the past. That is what Chris Murray does in The Marketing Gurus, which encapsulates some of the best thinking on marketing that has appeared in other business books.”
– The New York Times review of Chris Murray’s The Marketing Gurus
“Chris was vital in shaping the final structure and tone of my book, Confessions of a Serial Entrepreneur. Within days of joining the project, he understood who I was and what I was trying to say. I continue to work with Chris on my current projects. I value his insight, his listening skills, and his frank evaluation of my ideas. More than just an editorial consultant, he has become a trusted advisor.“
– Stuart Skorman, author of Confessions of a Serial Entrepreneur
