Kind words from those along the way…
"Myatt is the Swiss Army Knife of writers: Sharp, versatile, and dependable even in the most challenging of circumstances. There's a reason he's at the top of a very short list of go-to writers for me: he can write on any subject, credibly and with great style and skill. He learns the story so he can tell the story—and he does it without ever missing a deadline.”

— Beth Dreher, executive editor Good Housekeeping (former executive editor at Women’s Day)

He is tapped into a strong network of experts, is a master at getting great quotes, and writes content that makes people want to keep clicking for more.”
— Jennifer Fields, deputy editor POPSUGAR (former senior director of WebMD)
“Myatt always came to the table proactively with ideas—and not just ideas, but ideas that were appropriate and thoughtful for whatever I happened to be editing, whether that was at Men's Journal, or later on at Time Inc.
