“Anna Boatman has been exceptional both before and after the Bridgerton explosion.”
“Anna Boatman and her team have worked tirelessly to make Everything Is Beautiful a huge success. From the first moment, Anna’s editorial vision, communication and determination to get the whole company behind my book has been exceptional – I feel very lucky!”
“Thank you to my editor…David Cashion at Kevin Anderson Publishing, for helping me to turn my Wall of Life into the book of photographs and stories you now find in your hands.”
“Thanks to the tireless support of Kevin Anderson Publishing, especially Eric Spitznagel, who helped us piece together this jigsaw puzzle of interviews. Your prose is as beautiful as your soul.”

Their team of bestselling authors is a great resource for us and I definitely recommend their services to any author or publisher looking for top-quality writing services with a well-managed process.”
“I have been blessed with an extraordinary publishing team headed up in London by the brilliant Adam Strange at Little, Brown, whose enthusiasm for this project has never waned from the moment I read him the opening page and almost made him cry.”
“To Adam Strange…who first approached me with the idea…go my grateful thanks.”
“I tell everyone I have the best editor in the world”
“Anna Boatman’s superpower is communication. I know she will always make sure there’s the best team behind my books and I’m blown away by the success we’ve seen.”
“Thank you to Adam, for flipping the publishing process upside down to let me lead with people.”
“I’ve enjoyed working with Kevin Anderson Publishing 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.”
“…it was my great good fortune to work with Kendra Harpster [of Kevin Anderson Publishing], to whom I am deeply grateful for our many hours of chapter-by-chapter, scene-by-scene discussion, with no detail too small to consider, no principle too large to question. We found, it seems to me, the ideal way for a writer and editor to work together.”
“Because Adam Strange had the monk-like patience to sit through over 200,000 words of my fitness and food musings…my dream of publishing my book became a reality.”

Partnering with Hannah and the KAP team has been a consistently positive experience. Their team’s exceptional attention to detail and commitment to cultural accuracy is commendable. KAA’s sensitivity editors are not only thorough but also incredibly perceptive and the value they’ve added extends beyond the pages, fostering a deeper understanding and respect for diverse narratives and for authors writing outside of their lived experience. I strongly endorse their services to any writer seeking to enhance their manuscript with conscientious and respectful representation.
“To Adam Strange, thanks for being my biggest supporter”
“Kevin and his team and Kevin Anderson Publishing are the best in the business in helping authors bring their vision to life. I couldn’t recommend them more!”

Having collaborated together on over a dozen manuscripts since 2015, including the original Five Nights at Freddy’s series, I can attest to their responsiveness, dedication to excellence, and commitment to keeping their clients happy… Read More

“Working with Kevin Anderson Publishing and their team of bestselling ghostwriters has been a great experience all around. In addition to delivering excellent material in a timely manner, I especially appreciate their ability to adapt to demanding timelines and nonstandard processes. They are truly a classy organization that takes great pride in taking care of their clients. It’s rare to find such professionalism in a writing service. On one particularly demanding project, they really went above and beyond to produce an excellent manuscript within a two-month window—the way he and the organisation handled the process was prompt, professional. They have also referred some great authors to us that we ended up signing deals with. I strongly recommend their service to any author, agent, or publisher.”

Thank you for all your editorial support and assistance through this journey—it means a lot to have such committed partners on such an important project to me.”
“Special thanks to Adam Strange…who from the very first saw the potential in this book and of the Apache Attack Regiment’s story as a whole, and shared in my belief, and that of the soldiers, that it needed to be told.”
“Big thanks to Kevin Anderson, an accomplished writer on his own behalf, for turning loose the full strength of the fine company of his own name to assist me….I was blessed with a wonderful team starting with perhaps the most important member, my editor, Stephen S. Power. This is my fifth book that Stephen has edited. He is knowledgeable, talented, bright, and often outspoken. And, yes, we did not always agree, but I believe that our ‘debate resolution’ made our work product a better book….Stephen is simply the best!”
“Thank you to the amazing team at KAP for helping me shape my very personal story and land a great agent. Working with Kevin, Stephen, and the rest of the KAP team has been a great experience!”

“I have worked with Kevin many times over the years for my memoir, fiction, book proposal, and articles. With each interaction, Kevin and his team provided excellent editorial services. His firm offers a diverse pool of editors to choose from, which enabled me hone the type of service I was looking for. Each editor was concise and insightful, giving me constructive notes that really allowed me to take my work to the next level. I particularly appreciated the editors’ ability to point out where I could strengthen my story while not feeling like they were trying to change my story—this is a delicate balance that only the best editors know how to do. I felt that they were in for the long haul because Kevin was always there for me when I had follow up questions. A great experience across the board.”

“Kevin Anderson Publishing made my dream of becoming a published author a reality. When I first reached out to them, I knew nothing about the publishing business or how to write a book. A year later, I have a well-written book that perfectly captures my message and voice, I’m represented by the #1 nonfiction agent in the country, and I’ve signed a six-figure book deal with HarperCollins. I have no doubt that their strategic planning, world-class ghostwriters (I highly recommend Mary!), and ongoing consultation and support are what led to me becoming a published author. KAA’s industry knowledge and insider connections were incredibly valuable in ensuring I had the best team for long-term success. KAA’s team, and very often Kevin himself, were truly my partners and guided me through every step—planning the book, structuring the chapters, positioning the book to my target reader, ensuring the writing was publishable, connecting me directly with the top literary agents in the country, introducing me to the best PR agents and marketers, and finally helping me choose between multiple offers from Big-5 publishers. They are the best in the business and really take care of you–I can’t recommend them highly enough.”
“My editor at Kevin Anderson Publishing far exceeded my expectations in helping me get my book to the finish line. I reached out to Jessica under a tight timeline and she met the project with confidence and precision. She not only cut my 88,000-word manuscript to 76,000 words with line edits, but she also saw the big picture and made developmental edits too. Jessica is a genius… Read More
“My editor at Kevin Anderson Publishing far exceeded my expectations in helping me get my book to the finish line. I reached out to Jessica under a tight timeline and she met the project with confidence and precision. She not only cut my 88,000-word manuscript to 76,000 words with line edits, but she also saw the big picture and made developmental edits too. Jessica is a genius with words and getting to the heart of what needs to be said which is why I ended up hiring her for three rounds of revisions instead of just one. I call her a “Magical Word Wizard Unicorn.” I also enlisted KAA’s Cultural Accuracy Reading services to ensure that my book was inclusive and would resonate with a wide range of readers. Working with the team at KAP on my book was a fantastic experience from start to finish. They are organized, prompt, and deliver work on time. I plan to hire them for future writing projects, but next time I’d hire them even sooner in the book writing process because they’re excellent at books from concept to completion.”

Kevin Anderson Publishing 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. At HarperCollins Leadership we look forward to working with Kevin and his extensive team of writers and editors on another successful project as soon as possible.”
“Working with Kevin Anderson Publishing’s ghostwriting team was a wonderful experience from start to finish. They are clearly seasoned professionals who care deeply about their craft. We were especially appreciative of the time, effort, and patience they gave to ensure the facts and details of the book were accurate and captured our corporate culture in the very best way possible.”

It was an absolute pleasure getting to work with Kevin Anderson and his team.

“Kevin Anderson Publishing is an impressive team of former Big-5 acquisitions editors and bestselling writers. I’m very thankful for their service, and especially the time, energy, and passion that Kevin and his editors dedicated to my publishing efforts. I feel like I’ve found a partner who sincerely cares about my long-term success.”
I’m so grateful that we collaborated with KAP on the Fearless Firsts series. With careful attention to historical and cultural accuracy, their reviewers made these books for young readers sharper, richer, more precise, and better overall. Based on research, expertise, and lived experience, the KAP editors provided helpful context and insightful reasoning for phrasing things differently. I highly recommend their services to any author or publisher needing additional pairs of eyes on a given work!
KAP provided the BMA with knowledgeable, thoughtful outside readers to ensure our label copy was as accurate, clear, and sensitive as possible. Our presentation of complex topics benefited from the support of readers who were not just subject matter experts in the topic, but also attuned to the specific needs of museum visitors.
I found my CASE editor’s work incredibly helpful and encouraging. I greatly enjoyed reading what she had to say, and I will implement most, if not all, of her suggestions. She is an extraordinarily thorough and thoughtful reader! Thank you for connecting me to someone so intelligent and well-read, and for all your help. I feel reassured in letting this manuscript go out into the world now.

Every step of the process has been a pleasure, from the group book-planning and strategy sessions (conducted onsite, in the comfort of my home in Florida), through writing the book and pitching it to agents and publishers. Thank you!”

“Very impressed with Kevin Anderson Publishing’ ghostwriting and editing services. Not only have they taken great care of our authors, but they’re always willing to go the extra mile to ensure the manuscript is exceptional and that the author is happy. Always responsive and responsible, this team is clearly passionate about writing books and pleasing their clients. In one case, we needed nine different business books developed within a short time frame. Kevin’s team not only took on the challenge enthusiastically, but delivered what we needed and then some. Even when one of their writers became ill, they were able to immediately replace them with a new one and carry on with the project—which is very reassuring as a publisher. They are talented, flexible, and loaded with industry pros who know what it takes to write a powerful book. Great source for any publisher or agent who wants a dependable and professional service.”
“When I reached out to Kevin, my work was still a mess. After heavy editing I received notes and corrections, and now the finished product is perfect and ready for publishing. Thank you so much for your expertise, professionalism, constant contact, and to the editors who worked so hard on my book with me. I will never forget it!”

Kate Hanley was especially valuable in making the writing process easier and transforming my campus jargon into plain English that a wider audience could understand. Her ability to use my dictations and translate them into a beautifully written book helped make my dream a reality.”
