“Kyle Olund did a phenomenal job as editor of The Total Money Makeover, but he didn’t stop there—he became a friend and ally as well. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a creative, trustworthy, and seasoned publishing professional.”

“Some people you work with because you have to, and others you work with because you want to. After working with Kyle Olund on my first book with Thomas Nelson, I insisted that he be a part of the other three. There’s no one better at the work, or at making the work enjoyable.”

Mark Atteberry
Author of The Samson Syndrome and

“It is my joy to recommend Kyle Olund, who not only is a conscientious and creative professional, but also a first-rate person, husband, and dad. He is a hard-working man of his word, and I believe the experience of anyone working alongside him will be both exceptional and uncomplicated.”
