Ideas worth remembering.
There’s an old tired story of an author cooped up in a cabin, banging away on a typewriter, working on the next great American novel. And this is a myth — it always takes a team. Whether it’s a group of writers, editors, designers, publishers, or all of the above, you need the right people around you to help you translate your idea into something worth reading — we can help.

We are a team of publishing professionals who guide you through the confusion and chaos of writing and editing to create something worth remembering. You talk. We listen. The result is a book people can’t put down. We won’t let you settle for anything less than your very best. Promise.
Transform Your Ideas into a Published Masterpiece with Our Expert Guidance
Book Plans and Proposals
We help authors plan their books before they write them. This process results in a working title and premise for the book, an annotated table of contents, writing sample, detailed market analysis, and more. Proposals include our signature book planning process plus introduction to agents and potential publishers.

Ghostwriting and Collaboration
We help authors plan, research, and write their books. Our writers have worked on business bestsellers, self-help and personal development books, memoirs, business fables, and children’s stories, and more. Whether you want someone to write the book with you or for you, we can help you say what needs to be said in a voice that is clear and compelling.
Get Started
Editing and Publishing
We help authors finish their first drafts and edit them into manuscripts that are ready to publish. These services include developmental editing, copy editing, design and publishing services, as well as book launch coaching. When you are ready to bring your book out into the world, we can help.

THE PROCESS
Our Proven Steps to Publishing Success
At Bestow Literary Group, we guide you through every stage of your book project. Our structured approach ensures that your vision becomes a reality.
Step 1: Plan
The art of producing great books starts with a big idea. In the planning phase, we guide you through a disciplined process of taking your idea and turning it into a fully fleshed-out synopsis and plan to finish it.
Step 2: Write
The process of writing a book is more like building a house than painting the Mona Lisa. In the writing phase, we get the basic blocks of your idea into the right places, resulting in a working draft that can then be edited.
Step 3: Edit
In this phase, we take your manuscript through two high-level, developmental editing passes, then two more copy edits — a process that ends in a professionally edited work.
Step 4: Publish
Whether you plan on self publishing or working with one of the Big Five publishers, this phase is where we help you bring your project to the finish line and put it out in the world.
