Testimonials
“Travers adeptly balances smarts, savvy, and a sense of humor while putting his nose to the grindstone and getting things done. As a literary agent, I rely on editors to work closely with my clients to help them through the publishing process...after one editor left for a new job mid-project, we were lucky enough to be placed with Travers. He not only jumped in and was up to speed right away, but he made both me and my author feel taken care of and understood. Travers offered careful and concise notes on what my author needed to do in order to get his book in the best possible shape, and it went on to be a New York Times Bestseller.”
— J.L. Stermer, Literary Agent at New Leaf Literary & Media
“I've worked with a lot of editors over the years, but there is only one Travers. Besides being highly professional and personable, he is extremely creative. He always found better ways to tell a story. Best of all, he was always available to offer advice and suggestions. A great editor and person.”
— Irene Zutell, author and journalist
“Travers assisted my company, Lucid Marketing, with copywriting for pitch decks and our website. We wanted clear and concise messaging while rebranding in the midst of COVID-19, and trusted him with an important project. Travers more than delivered on his services and I highly recommend him. Expect professionalism, great feedback, and high quality services.”
