“Matthew has a wonderfully infectious passion for words. I have had the pleasure of working closely with him for over four years, my first three books being published with indie publisher Urbane. His proactive and collaborative approach to publishing, his creative ideas, enthusiasm and drive is second to none, he eagerly matches your own expectations and dreams and nurtures your ideas to give you and your work the platform it deserves.” – bestselling novelist Gina Kirkham

“Matthew is unique in his ability to navigate the, often impenetrable, world of publishing and he does so with determination, compassion, impeccable honesty and a sense of humour. He is hardworking, massively knowledgeable, driven, supportive and just an all-round brilliant guy to have in your corner.” – K.H.Irvine, critically acclaimed author of A Killing Sin
“Working with Matthew on four novels, I saw first-hand his skill, dedication and collaborative style. He brings a unique insight into publishing, which helped me enormously.” – bestselling thriller author James Silvester
“As a writer’s advocate, Matthew Smith is a veritable modern Maxwell Perkins when it comes to the honesty, integrity and compassion he brings to his Exprimez consultancy, a genuine rarity amidst the brambles of today’s often forbidding publishing world. Highly recommended!” – Patrick Leahy, bestselling author of The Knife-Edge Path
