What I Can Do For You

WHY HIRE ME?

I am an award-winning author and biographer with over 40 books in print. I write corporate and personal biographies for professional and private clients. I also provide the full spectrum of services including interviewing, writing, formatting, book design, and publishing. I also offer developmental editing and post-publication management of client book sales via Amazon or Ingram Spark.

“At the strong recommendation of a close friend, I chose Ken Overman as the author who would help me publish my book—not just for my immediate family, but also for existing and potential members of The C12 Group. Ken brought insight, imagination, writing, storytelling, and organization skills to match my own creative visions for the book. I couldn’t be more pleased. He was able to take what I had already written, add more of my memories and thoughts, and bring them to life. I strongly recommend Ken to anyone considering writing his or her biography. His “soup-to-nuts” writing and publishing services far exceeded my expectations.

MY STEP-BY-STEP PROCESS

To Start
Together, we discuss the style and scope of your book … the “bones” of your story. Next I’ll visit your location to conduct initial interviews.

Step Two
I’ll write your draft from top to bottom while ensuring a logical, smooth flow of your storyline. IMPORTANT NOTE: We do NOT use AI

Step Three
I’ll email you draft chapters for a “fact check,” or corrections. The back-and-forth process continues until you are satisfied with the final draft.

Step Four
Together we’ll decide the placement of photos, documents, maps, and anything else you want to include. I’ll customize your book cover, back cover synopsis, and your biographical profile.

Step Five
I will publish and manage your book through my independent company, BiographyMasters.
