Guest Bio:
Kevin is an accomplished ghostwriter, #1 national-bestselling author, editor, and entrepreneur with a wealth of industry knowledge and professional experience. He has worked with numerous bestselling and award-winning authors, prominent literary agents, Big-5 publishers, and a long list of public figures, successful professionals, and aspiring authors. He is also a contributing author by invitation to Publishers Weekly’s Book Publishing Almanac 2022: A Master Class in the Art of Bringing Books to Readers and the author of the #2 Wall Street Journal, #1 Barnes & Noble, and #1 Amazon bestseller, PhDone: A Professional Dissertation Editor’s Guide to Writing Your Doctoral Thesis and Earning Your PhD.
Both a creative writer and a scholar, Kevin earned his master’s degree at Harvard University with a concentration in literary theory and criticism. While at Harvard, he studied under Poet Laureate and critical theorist, Professor Michael D. Jackson, and honed the literary criticism skills upon which he built his career in the book-writing and editing business.
As CEO and Editor-in-Chief, Kevin oversees all operations at our firm. He enjoys working closely with clients and makes himself readily available by phone and email throughout the planning, ghostwriting, editing, and publishing process. He is an invaluable resource and dedicates his time and expertise generously to ensure our clients receive the best quality service in the industry.
When he’s not collaborating with authors, agents, and publishers, you may find him reading Nabokov, Cormac McCarthy, or Proust; surfing the northeastern shores; composing music; fishing for striped bass; debating philosophy; brewing Belgian-style beer; wakeboarding with his family and neighbors; or enjoying the arts, culture, and food of a faraway place. Of all life’s pleasures, Kevin most enjoys the adventures he shares with his wife and their four children.
