Pairing an author with the right ghostwriter is inherently fraught with built-in challenges, and these challenges cause risk for both the publisher and the author. Kevin Anderson & Associates reduces those risks by providing a layer of expertise and oversight on the entire process of selecting, coordinating, and managing the contract-writing process. The end result is a better book because the right ghostwriter was chosen, the project was managed efficiently, and editorial quality was greatly increased.
I’ve enjoyed working with Kevin Anderson and Associates on my books and appreciate their assistance in guiding me through the publishing process. My lead writer, Mike Wicks, worked closely with me to capture my voice and ensure the writing was readable and accessible.
Working with Kevin Anderson & Associates has been a pleasure from start to finish—they even accommodated my request to meet with me in Japan. My lead editor, Mary, is a truly talented editor and a joy to work with. I couldn’t have been happier with our dynamic throughout the process. She brought a passion and an energy to my project that is rare to find and immensely valuable. I recommend KAA and look forward to collaborating on more projects in the future.

The KAA Ghostwriting Experience
We carefully customize our ghostwriting process to meet your specific needs and publishing goals. The process below describes a standard ghostwriting experience.
Before any financial commitment or contract, we will take the time to get to know you and your book and discuss the optimal strategy to achieve your publishing goals.
Once we’ve agreed to terms and signed a contract, we’ll proceed to Step 2.
Your book team will review any existing drafts or background materials and guide you through a questionnaire to help identify your concept and target readers.
At KAA, you’ll work with an elite team of bestselling writers, literary agents, and publishing executives to develop a powerful book and navigate the publishing industry.
In addition to your core team, our process includes the following team members:
Develops the book’s positioning and structure and provides editorial review and direction throughout the manuscript-writing process.
Works closely with you to write and revise your manuscript, capturing your voice and vision. KAA’s roster includes #1 NYT-bestselling authors.

Refines the book’s positioning and structure, reviews manuscript progress, and advises on publishing strategy.
Meet with your book-writing team in person or via video conference for in-depth strategy sessions to brainstorm, plan, and build the foundation of your book.
By the end of the sessions, you will have a detailed manuscript outline that captures your vision and a publishing and marketing strategy.
Our team will develop the manuscript based on collaborative interviews and research and submit material to you for review and feedback.
We typically begin by perfecting the first chapter, ensuring we capture your distinct voice and vision, before moving on to larger sections.
We will develop your manuscript one section at a time, giving you ample opportunity to discuss the draft in process and suggest revisions.
Your editor will oversee the writing process and provide ongoing editorial review and direction to ensure the quality of the writing meets publishing industry standards.
Your manuscript will be reviewed by 20+ lay readers from within your target demographic who will provide detailed raw feedback and suggest improvements. The writing team will review this feedback with you and revise the book to ensure it resonates with your audience. Beta readers allow you and your team to make editorial decisions based on data.

We believe books should be authentic, original, and deeply human. That’s why we never use AI to generate original content. Writing a great book—especially something deeply personal or creative—requires more than algorithms or pre-programmed prompts. It takes a real writer’s human intuition, empathy, and creativity to know when and how to ask the right questions and capture your voice in a way that resonates with your readers.
FAQ
How Will Writing a Business Book Advance My Career?
Publishing your own book will establish you as an expert in your field and enhance your professional profile. If you’re in sales or earn income through delivering speeches, a book will be an enormously helpful selling piece and earn you instant credibility and respect. Many people view a book as the ultimate business card—an essential for demonstrating your expertise.
If I’m the Expert, Why Should I Work with a Ghostwriter?
Since you’re the expert, you’re probably busy doing what you do best! And while you may be an expert in business, you’re probably not an expert in writing or publishing a book. Our ghostwriting services allow you to focus on your business while we dedicate the time, expertise, and energy necessary to write and publish your book. If you’re concerned about the time commitment required to write your book, or lack confidence in your writing skills, we’re a perfect service for you.
How Involved Will I Need to Be in the Process?
Your level of involvement is entirely up to you, though we do recommend at least 20 hours total–most of which would be required in the planning phase. You can opt to work closely with your ghostwriter, or simply provide them with basic information and let them do the rest of the work. This is your book, which means that you have final say on the content; how and when you give your input and approval is your decision. We’ll work with you to customize the process so that it fits your schedule and preferred working style.
How Long Will it Take to Write My Book?
The duration of the ghostwriting process is partly up to you. Depending on your schedule and desired level of involvement, your ghostwriter will develop material for you to review and approve on a weekly or biweekly basis. While every book is unique, on average, a 200-page or 50,000-word manuscript will take between six and nine months to develop. We can often rush these services for you if you need to meet a specific publishing deadline.
How Much Do Ghostwriting Services Cost?
Every ghostwriting project is unique: our pricing is flexible and varies according to what you choose to include in your package. Our comprehensive ghostwriting packages typically include strategic planning, writing, revisions, editing, review by a senior editor, pitch materials, and publishing consultation.
What if I Just Want Feedback and Consultation on My Book?
Our editing and consultation services are perfectly suited for writers who are looking to improve their work. We can give input at whatever level of detail you’d like—overarching feedback on the structure and concept of the book, critical review on the flow and transitions, or copy editing the text itself. At your request, we can also address specific issues in our review of your work.
How Much Experience Do You Have with Business Books?
Business books are our strongest genre. Not only have we developed numerous New York Times bestselling business books, but we work directly with the leading business book publishers and have agented multiple 6-figure deals for our clients. Our client list includes self-made billionaires, CEOs, and a wide range of notable business leaders from a variety of industries. We are also very well connected with the leading book marketers and publicists and can put together and manage a team that gives you the best chance at success.
What Do I Need to Consider When Choosing a Book Ghostwriter?
The internet is littered with online writing and editing services, making it nearly impossible to sift through the scams and find a legitimate and trustworthy service. Here are some questions to ask when you’re vetting companies to ensure that you pick a reliable firm for all your writing and editing needs:
Whatever service you decide to use, be sure to protect yourself. Make certain that you are working with a reputable and experienced company.
Once the Ghostwriting Is Complete, Can You Help with Publishing and Marketing?

Most of our all-inclusive ghostwriting packages include an original and customized query letter or book proposal free of charge. This invaluable marketing tool will be used to promote your book to literary agents and publishers. We will guide you through every step of securing an agent or publisher, as well as putting together an effective publishing strategy.
