Working with Matt is an absolute pleasure. He is professional, talented, a great communicator and well-respected, brings great, fresh ideas and energy to the team, and is fun to be around!
✍🏼 Kelli Chipponeri
I worked with Matthew for more than a year buying books for the book premium program at Little Passports. Matthew was highly organized, efficient, and quick to problem solve any situation that came up. He recommended numerous subject specific books for the subscription packages and made several suggestions to formats to find the most cost effective pricing available for each project. He problem-solved editorial and design challenges for backlist and out-of-print titles, creating custom editions for book that had been dated in their content and/or design. I would gladly work with Matthew again on any special sales project as I know that he will stay on top of every sales opportunity and do it in a professional, book friendly way.
