Jeff James, HarperCollins Leadership, VP and Publisher
-Publisher for #1-bestselling author Rachel Hollis and NYT bestselling author and Billionaire, Tilman Fertitta
“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. 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.”

Andrea Fleck-Nisbet, VP Publisher, HarperCollins Horizon
"We were impressed with Kevin Anderson & Associates’ beta reader service. As a publisher, we found it invaluable to receive direct and honest feedback from target readers. The breadth, thoroughness, and high level of thoughtful detail contained in the report helped guide our editorial decisions. We especially appreciated how the report offered constructive criticism, combined with actionable editorial solutions to address identified problems. We were very happy with the professionalism of Kevin Anderson & Associates and the great services they provide."
Tim Burgard, HarperCollins
-Senior Acquisitions Editor
“Working with Kevin Anderson & Associates 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, lead writer Jeff Wuorio went above and beyond to produce an excellent manuscript within a two-month window—the way he and the organization handled the process was prompt, professional, and our author was incredibly pleased. I strongly recommend their service to any author, agent, or publisher.”
Norman Ollestad, New York Times Bestselling Author
“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.”

Tom Golisano, Self-Made Billionaire,Founder of Paychex, and Author of National Bestseller, Built, Not Born (HarperCollins)
“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.”
Ken Rusk, author of Blue Collar Cash (Dey Street)
"Kevin Anderson & Assoc. 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 is what has led to me becoming a published author, and 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 partner and guide through every step -- planning the book, structuring the chapters, positioning the book to my target reader, ensuring the writing was publish worthy, 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."
Tom Murry, former CEO of Calvin Klein
“I’m incredibly impressed by the responsiveness and professionalism of everyone at Kevin Anderson & Associates, and especially my lead ghostwriter, Mary. Writing this book would simply not be possible without their help, and now my message and business lessons have been transformed into a beautifully written manuscript that I’m proud to call my own. 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!”
Sara Kendrick, Senior Acquisitions Editor at Harper Collins Leadership
Sara Kendrick, SVP and Publisher at HarperCollins Leadership
“Very impressed with Kevin Anderson & Associates’ 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 9 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.”
Jeff Pegues, CBS News
“Kevin Anderson & Associates provided the guidance I needed in the publishing business. Kevin’s team helped me take all of my ideas and put them into what Entertainment Weekly called one of the “15 juiciest political books to come in 2018”. If you’re interested in becoming an author, Kevin Anderson & Associates can make your dream become a reality. It is a full-service firm that pays attention to the details and will help make your book a bestseller.”
Ken Honda, Author of National Bestseller, Happy Money (Simon & Schuster)
-Bestselling author, over 7 million books sold worldwide
"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."
Heather Zumarraga, CNBC, Fox News, and Fox Business Financial Analyst
Author of The Man’s Guide to Corporate Culture (HarperCollins, 2021)
“I am an established financial services professional and media personality, but I had never written a book and had limited knowledge about the publishing industry. When HarperCollins signed me to a book deal (“The Man’s Guide to Corporate Culture”), I had no idea how to go about writing a book…until I met Kevin Anderson and his incredible firm. Their consulting and editing services were first rate. Kevin himself was my consultant and my editors included a widely published author and a former acquisitions editor at Simon & Schuster. Their team is loaded with talent and publishing industry professionals and Kevin is an expert in the industry and has senior level contacts at the major publishers — he clearly knows how the process works from the inside. Kevin’s invaluable advice through the entire process is perfect new authors who are established in their careers, but not yet as authors. Kevin Anderson & Associates will kick start your writing process and get you through the mental roadblocks along the way. They have the tools and knowledge to make your writing a successful and fun process. Kevin Anderson helped transform my book from good to great! I couldn’t have done it without them.”
