What a joy to work with Chris Peterson. He is a fantastic, collaborative writer who knows how to creatively and intelligently express exactly what you’re trying to say. Anyone would be lucky to work with him.

I’ve worked with Chris Peterson on cookbooks that have required extensive testing, cookbooks that called for hand-holding, cookbooks that have needed detailed nutritional information, and cookbooks that had to be turned around on a dime. In each case, Chris has done a terrific job, and earned kudos from the principal, the copyeditor, and the managing editor here as well. He’s helped first-time authors as well as seasoned bestsellers on our list. He’s able to tap an effortless but broad culinary knowledge to enhance the books. Best of all, Chris’ drama-free style and relentless deadline awareness go both noticed and appreciated during every project he works on with us. He always hits his marks, and is always a pleasure to deal with.

Working with Chris Peterson was a dream. We had a number of projects together—with high-profile celebrity authors—and I always knew that if they were in his hands, they would be well-written, organized, and professional. He made my job as an editor much easier, which is an invaluable skill. Best of all, he’s delightful to work with and I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of an experienced, talented writer.
