 Author Ji Chaozhu: "Foster took my disorganized and Chinese-specific manuscript and reworked it into a compelling narrative that appeals to a non-Chinese audience. After a hundred or so hours of interviews, two months of research in China, and extensive historical readings, Foster succeeded in bringing the story to life...and finding an enthusiastic publisher."
Publisher Random House, editor Bob Loomis: "Foster Winans has done a fantastic job making your life story accessible to readers. I have utter confidence in his judgment regarding style and narrative flow. More than any other book I've read that touches on the Cultural Revolution, this book really helped me understand how it felt to suffer through it. I was moved by so much of this."
 Co-author Walt Pavlo Jr.: "Foster approached the task as more of a partnership than a contract for services, covering everything from a complete edit of the book, to cover design, to final printing, and distribution. It was a relief to be able to let someone else handle those details while I focused on my marketing plan.
"He took ownership of the project and his editorial input brought characters to life, created memorable dialogue, and made the story-telling crisp. Within four months, he transformed the manuscript and delivered a book that was every bit as polished as any I’ve seen." (Excerpted in Forbes Magazine, Oct. 2007)
Co-author Jack Hubbard: "My partner Bob St. Meyer and I knew we wanted to capture in book form our combined six decades of experience as financial services sales and marketing experts and consultants, but we had no idea where to start. Foster Winans and Walt Kuenstler made it easy for us to remain focused on our consulting practice.
"Foster conducted extensive interviews with us, our staff, some of our most-valued clients, and other thought leaders in our field. Walt simultaneously managed the concurrent redesign of our web site and helped us reshape the content so that our online presence was consistent with and supported the message and the brand we were communicating with the book.
"Foster also reworked the content into feature articles for two important trade journals in the banking field, and was responsible for negotiating a cover story in a national magazine aimed at our core audience of bank CEOs.
"We’ve received nothing but compliments on the writing as well as the content of 'Conversations with Prospects.' Prospects and clients alike have purchased multiple copies for colleagues and employees, the book has stimulated a wave of new leads and business relationships, and it has enhanced our intellectual capital and company equity far more than we ever could have imagined."
John E. Girouard, author: "I thank you for your tireless work and professionalism in the development and publishing of 'The Ten Truths of Wealth Creation'. Once I became convinced that I wanted to write a book, I had no idea how many issues needed to be addressed. Your skills and advisement were essential.
"From cover design, layout, graphics, coming up with the best book title, printing, production, distribution, design and creation of my web site, getting the book on Amazon and into book distributors: these were all critical components I had not even thought of needing to address, let alone how to.
"Your skill and daily guidance and ability to stay on track and meet my established deadlines made this project rewarding and exceeded my expectations.
"Since the launch of the book, you have assisted me with news releases and my blog, both of which have raised my profile and gotten me mentions on such web sites as Reuters.com and Forbes.com."
