Episode 56: Kevin Anderson

Kevin Anderson is one of the publishing industry’s leading authorities on ghostwriting and editorial development. As the founder, CEO and editor-in-chief of Kevin Anderson & Associates, a Manhattan-based firm that specializes in developing collaborative projects, he is uniquely positioned to weigh in on what it takes to write a best-selling book. His firm represents over 200 widely-published writers, and relies on the editorial and publishing expertise of more than a dozen former Big 5 acquisitions editors.

“A client who hires a ghostwriter is still the author of their book,” Anderson once told The Washington Post. “With the exception of some research-based projects, the content, ideas and concepts for ghostwritten books come directly from the client... A ghostwriter is an interpreter and a translator, not an author, which is why our clients deserve full credit for authoring their books.”

Join us for an informative conversation on how many of our collaborative books are conceived, and how they fight their way through the publishing process and onto our bookshelves.
