Conceptual Development
Every good book starts with a strong concept. This isn’t just the elevator pitch for your book idea…it’s a critical tool for articulating your objectives for your book and why your book will matter to readers. KW/B helps you develop, test, and refine your book concept.
Ghostwriting/Editing
Working with a writer or editor may be the best way to make your book dream a reality. Your “ghosty” should be an experienced collaborator, an excellent listener, and an active advocate for the book. KW/B delivers an exceptional collaboration experience.
Production
A book that is visually appealing and accessible is a gift to readers. KW/B facilitates decisions about layout and design, and tends to the critical details of proofreading and preparing final files for the printer.
