Signature Writing & Publishing Support

Russell and I worked very closely together and he ultimately helped me find the storyline and chapter structure that were essential. With Russell’s advice, the voice ultimately became my grandfather’s own as he told his story, punctuated by short sections written in my first-person voice as I described my very close relationship with him. It worked!

David A. Armstrong, author of Dragons & Violins: A Memoir of War & Music, director of Pawn and The Assassin’s Code, Hollywood director, producer, cinematographer

I worked very closely with Russell on the publication of my award-winning novel Beethoven in Love, and his wealth of experience was invaluable. It was my first foray into the sometimes-impenetrable world of independent publishing, but Russell’s advice at every turn proved to be spot on.

Howard Jay Smith, author of the award-winning novels Beethoven in Love and Meeting Mozart

Russell is masterful communicator in all media, a skilled leader of others in the creative process, and someone who is always highly insightful about how best to tell a story—no matter the story. I recommend him enthusiastically.

Kenneth E. Salyer, M.D. (1936-2020), author of A Life That Matters, internationally renowned craniofacial surgeon

In my near half century of directing and working in writing conferences and programs across the nation (including my score of years administering and working as a Master Teacher for the National Foundation for Advancement in the Arts), I have worked with very few writers as capable, intelligent, and professional as Russell Martin.

David Lee, first Poet Laureate of Utah, Emeritus Professor of English, author of two dozen highly acclaimed books of poetry

Mr. Martin offers to general audiences precise and accurate, but highly readable, studies of extraordinarily complex issues. He does more: he sees beyond what is already known; he moves beyond synthesis to new insights. His work is disciplined, analytical, and creative. It is also profoundly humane.

Excerpt from the citation when I was awarded an honorary doctorate by Colorado College

[Russell Martin's] signature approach to seemingly offbeat subjects is careful research filtered through a novelistic sensibility to grasp the inherent story, which he unfolds in the engaging, almost offhand manner of a fictional amateur sleuth. Martin is, first and foremost, a consummate storyteller who deftly weaves such multiple disciplines as politics, history, art, science, and even current events into a narrative forming a coherent whole.

From Kirkus Review's review of my nonfiction book Picasso's War

From time to time a special book is written that changes one’s way of perceiving the self and the world, and that challenges one to rethink what being human really means. Russell Martin has written such a book. . . . It is a book that should become a classic.
