#1-ranked agent on Publishers Marketplace
Working with Manhattan Publishing House 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 organization 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.
Senior Acquisitions Editor with HarperCollins Leadership
MPH 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. 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.

Book proposals vary in size and structure, though most contain some of the following sections.
We learn about your publishing goals and brainstorm how to build a book and publishing strategy that will accomplish them.
Collaborative multi-day, in-person (optional), in-depth discussions on the book’s positioning, promise to the reader, structure, content, marketability, competitive analysis, author platform, and publishing strategy. Your team typically includes a Big-5 editor and/or a bestselling writer.
We draft and finalize a detailed table of contents with chapter descriptions.
We will write (or edit, if you prefer) the book proposal in close collaboration with you.
An additional editor reviews, assesses, and edits the book proposal.
We work closely with agents and publishers and can ensure your proposal lands in the right hands.
We believe books should be authentic, original, and deeply human. That’s why we never use AI to generate original content. Writing a great book—especially something deeply personal or creative—requires more than algorithms or pre-programmed prompts. It takes a real writer’s human intuition, empathy, and creativity to know when and how to ask the right questions and capture your voice in a way that resonates with your readers.
