"When it came time to tell my story, Hugo was the ideal choice for a writing partner. I work fast, and I work hard, and Hugo was able to match my intense emotional pace. He asked the right questions to get me to go deeper, and processed through the most difficult parts of my back pages with me. He was a skillful collaborator with my editors at HarperCollins, and when needed, a fierce advocate for keeping the most intense parts of my story intact and accurate. I am forever grateful I chose to work with Hugo."

"I am a professional writer who has been published in the San Francisco Examiner, Dog World Magazine, Backpacker, and Working Mother magazine. I have 25 years of experience. But even seasoned writers like me sometimes need help. I contacted Hugo about a year ago to help me with a book I’m writing—All My Bad Boyfriends. Hugo has given me invaluable help with editing and copy writing. Hugo has such a keen ear when it comes to writing. He really knows how to make sentences come alive and resonate with the reader. One of the best parts of working with Hugo is our phone consultations. When I’m stuck on a part of my writing, Hugo always seems to know the magic words to say to me to get me back on track. I really enjoy working with Hugo, and I would recommend him to anyone"

"My son was stuck on his college admissions essays. We knew that those essays were vital to his application, but my very modest (though talented) son really struggles to share anything that’s personal, or that could sound like boasting. Hugo didn’t write the application for my son, but he helped my son gain the confidence and insight to craft his own (successful!) essays. That’s part of what Hugo does so well. He doesn’t just show you how to structure your thoughts once you have them. He helps you figure out what you most want and need to say."

Hugo Schwyzer is a talented writer and an insightful, engaging, and deeply textured person. Hugo is ghosting me on a memoir that needs to thoughtfully embrace my life, pop culture, and the facts of my family history in America that dates back several centuries. I’m grateful that Hugo is skillfully working with me to craft a memoir that is fun and entertaining to read while also being accurate and respectful to all the many parties involved. Thank you, Hugo.
