Wes Miller

Executive Editor
Former Big-5 executive editor with six #1 New York Times bestsellers

Wes Miller helps aspiring authors elevate their craft and see their work in new ways, offering the tools and framework honed over nearly fifteen years as an acquiring editor. Most of his career was spent at Hachette Book Group, first at Little, Brown and Company where he helped launch the mystery/thriller imprint Mulholland Books. Then in 2016, Wes moved to Little, Brown’s sister company Grand Central Publishing, where his list expanded to include a stable of bestselling commercial fiction authors. There, he edited and launched more than a dozen books that debuted on the New York Times bestsellers list, six of them at #1, often publishing multiple bestsellers per year. His passion has always been working with debut authors, several of whose careers he was lucky enough to successfully launch during his time at a Big 5 publisher. At KAA, Wes works with both aspiring writers and our ghostwriting clients to help build and launch the best possible version of their book.
