“Bill’s talent runs deep and wide.  To my delight, the man and his many gifts were no less than magical in their contributions.  His professionalism and keen sense of the power of simplicity were absolutely indispensable in organizing, shaping and focusing the material for this book.  If I ever write another, I hope William Patrick will come back once more to work the magic in his bones."

“William Patrick has written thrillers about germ warfare and collaborated on books by people ranging from the rocket scientist Adam Steltzner to Aerosmith drummer Joey Kramer (and if you can get an entire book out of a drummer you must be bloody good).”

“Bill Patrick is a rare and wonderful human being.  Minding the Body, Mending the Mind became a surprise New York Times bestseller largely due to his publishing instincts and direct involvement with the writing and revisions.  He kept at it until the “voice” was just right, guiding me out of science-speak into accessible language without compromising the integrity of the work.  I owe much of my success as a writer of eight books to his generous and patient tutelage.  Bill is an author’s and publisher’s dream come true; superbly talented, smart, honest, and a pleasure to work with at every level.  Any person fortunate enough to be involved with him can tell you the same thing.”         

“Bill Patrick brings to book projects the kind of outside (and outsized) talent that great studio musicians bring to recording sessions.  Whether working as a soloist or a sideman—co-writer, editor, or book doctor—Bill is the consummate professional, combining amazing literary skill with the serious savvy of someone who’s spent a lifetime in the business.”

“I’ve never seen a turn-around like this.  We were on the threshold of having this book be cancelled, but after your involvement it’s been embraced in the most dramatic way, and it was your editing that had everything to do with the transformation.”

“I’ve watched you work miracles with two major memoirs, yet what is even more impressive is that you were able to effect complete transformations in both cases while earning the lifetime friendship and respect of both men. That says a great deal about you.”
