Writers Of The West

Writers of the West is a Houston-based ghostwriting, book editing, publishing, distribution, and book marketing company that provides authors with an end-to-end path from an initial idea or unfinished manuscript to a professionally produced and distributed book. The company works with first-time authors, entrepreneurs, executives, professionals, and experienced writers across fiction and nonfiction genres, including memoirs, autobiographies, biographies, business books, self-help, children's books, romance, Christian books, and other categories.

The company's model is built around providing multiple stages of book development under one organization rather than requiring an author to independently hire a writer, editor, designer, formatter, publishing provider, and marketing company. Its services include book ghostwriting, developmental editing, line and copy editing, proofreading, manuscript evaluation, cover design, interior formatting, ISBN assistance, publishing support, worldwide book distribution, author branding, book marketing, Amazon advertising, promotional campaigns, and related post-publication services.

A central part of the Writers of the West approach is writer matching. Rather than treating every project alike, authors are matched with writers according to the subject, genre, voice, and requirements of their book. The company's website describes a network spanning multiple countries and backgrounds, allowing projects ranging from personal memoirs to fiction and specialized nonfiction to be assigned to writers with relevant experience.

Projects are collaborative. Authors can communicate their experiences and ideas through interviews and project discussions while the writing team develops the manuscript. Writers of the West emphasizes maintaining the author's intended voice and offers revisions during the development process. A dedicated project manager coordinates communication between the author and the writers, editors, designers, and publishing personnel involved in the project, with the company advertising seven-day project-management availability and continued assistance after completion.

For authors who already have a manuscript, the company provides standalone editing and manuscript-development services, ranging from proofreading and line editing to developmental editing and manuscript evaluation.
