Business or Personal Full-Length Biographies
As an award-winning writer, I will transform your story into a professional biography or memoir that you can proudly share with your family for generations to come, your associates, clients, and the world. I write in the style of a novelist, which means your “voice,” ideas, and emotional tone will come across as if you wrote the book yourself. My “Soup-To-Nuts” services include everything you need to write and publish your book.
“Ken Overman and I spent many enjoyable hours going over my life and experiences, and he captured the essence of my career exactly as it was. His skill in interviewing and writing made the whole process go very well. I encourage anyone wanting their life story or work placed in a book, to contact Ken.”
– Sam Peluso – Former Meryl Lynch Executive
Ghostwriting:
Whether self-help, fiction, non-fiction, biography, or technical writing, I will collaborate with your vision and ideas to develop a powerful book and navigate the entire publishing journey to final publication.
“Ken, I really enjoyed working with you, especially during the recording sessions. You have a unique ability to ask the right questions, and I must say the whole experience of working with you on my book has been an exciting and pleasing venture into my past.”
– Buck Autrey – Chairman Emeritus, Miller Electric Company
Developmental or Content Editing
Is your book already written? I offer a thorough review of your manuscript’s core components. I’ll analyze the structure, content, organization, and strength of the draft, including plot, themes, character development, and tension. I will investigate strong character development, whether the story follows a logical progression, and ensure the talking points seamlessly segue from one to another. I’ll look for plot holes, inconsistencies, and other issues that might detract from the reading experience. I can work on autobiographies, nonfiction, novels, short stories, and other types of writing.
“Like any World War II veteran, I have a lot of memories. Working with Ken was a very enjoyable experience. His ease of communication, intelligent questions, and top-notch writing skills produced a wonderful book. I highly recommend Ken Overman to anyone thinking about writing their legacy.”
– Howard (Mike) Spencer
Book Cover Design and Interior Formatting
I will customize your book cover with illustrations, colors, and wording, and present cover drafts to you to your satisfaction. I’ll also develop your back cover synopsis and your biographical profile.
Book Publishing

“It has been a great experience working with Ken for several years. He is gifted and talented for taking people’s memories and turning them into fascinating stories that encourage, inspire, and teach the readers. When my wife and I needed help with our manuscript, Ken hit a homerun editing and publishing our book, “Living Water in a Parched Land.” Ken is easy to work with. As a skilled communicator, Ken was always able to answer any questions and concerns. His work speaks for itself. “
– George L. Holley Jr.
