Project Overview
Toronto-based doctor Peter Adamson had a thriving facial plastic surgery practice--but he wanted to do more. As founder of the Canadian Foundation for Facial Plastic Surgery (CFFPS), a charity that sends plastic surgeons to less fortunate countries to help disfigured children, Peter wanted to raise awareness. His goal was to educate people about facial plastic surgery and raise money for his humanitarian endeavours. Highspot helped Peter push a manuscript he’d been working on for years through the production cycle. The result is a beautiful hard cover book that has been garnering praise all across North America from both doctors and patients. Ten percent of the sales proceeds go to support the CFFPS.

"Thanks to Highspot, I can finally delete the term “wannabe” before the word “author” on my resume. For at least 10 years, I’ve had a book on women and financial planning lurking inside me, with no lack of inspiration for its content. But there was a Grand-Canyon divide between my inspiration and the actual implementation required to bring a book to market. Highspot provided everything needed to span that enormous gap: the tools, the coaching, the connections. They knew exactly when to talk me down from one impractical ledge, and when to push me up and forward to another more promising and stable. I could not have done this without them. At the same time, they gave me the authorial voice and discretion to ensure my book could not have been done without me." - Eleanor Blayney
"My book would still be an idea in my head if it were not for the Highspot team. From start to finish, they performed exceptionally well and on time. Along the way, they made valuable recommendations to improve the book as well as save money on its production and printing. For example, they convinced me to change the name. The new title captured the nature of the content much better than the original title I had put forward. If you are thinking about publishing a book, you won’t find a better team than these folks." - Ronald W. Rogé
"I never realized how much work there is to take a book from manuscript to publication. I could never have gotten there without the help of Highspot! I am delighted with the finished product. And judging from the positive comments I have received, so are my readers." - Sara Holtz
"What a great job you and your team did managing the Fit to Succeed project. Highspot operates with a high level of professionalism and great attention to detail. The result was a first-class book that was completed on time and under budget. I’m working on an outline for my next effort and I will definitely have Highspot manage that project as well." - Steve Heussner
"Just wanted to let you know that I held the book in my hands yesterday. I am very excited and proud of the work. I cannot thank [Highspot] enough for all of your effort. You have done an amazing job and made my life easy with this process. You definitely have an extremely valuable service to offer thought leaders in this world." - Gino Wickman
"If it wasn’t for Highspot, I'd still have an unnamed, disorganized manuscript cluttering my desk. I hired this dedicated team to create something I’d be proud of. At every stage in the process they ensured they knew exactly what I wanted to achieve and then they surpassed my expectations, every time. The feedback I’m receiving is overwhelmingly positive and this book is already having a significant impact on my business." - Robert S. Cable
