Beat the Incumbent — Dr. Louis Perron, 2024

“When I started to write ‘Beat the Incumbent’, I thought of myself as a decent writer. Well, getting the book over the finish line turned out to be a humbling experience. Sam came on very high recommendations, and fully delivered. His substantive editing considerably improved the manuscript. If I could do it over again, the only thing I would change is to bring him in earlier during the process.”

- Dr. Louis Perron; Political advisor and global campaign strategist.
