Whether you are looking for a ghostwriter, an experienced book editor, or a collaborator on an editorial project, I have the experience to come alongside and help your words shine. I know how to write, edit, revise, research, prepare proper footnote citations, and connect you to other professionals to transform your manuscript into a professional product. Here’s what some authors I’ve helped lately have to say:
* Nicholas Schwartz came to me for help in 2025 for a substantive edit of his sparkling collection of real-life stories, Chasing Rich: Men, Miracles, and the God Among Us. The resulting book was released in August of 2026 through Loudoun Place Publishing. “Ken was nothing short of an answer to prayer,” Nick says. “For Chasing Rich, I needed someone who would go beyond routine proofreading and truly invest in the project. His edits were thoughtful and substantive, his commentary encouraging yet refreshingly candid, and his responsiveness unwavering.”
* When author Phil Phillips wanted to publish a long-awaited sequel to his bestselling book from the 1980s, he asked for my assistance. The results appear in the 2026 release: The Toybox Rewired: Turmoil in the Toybox 40 Years Later. Says Phil: “Ken Walker is the rare kind of editor who can make your book better without making it his. Working with him felt less like hiring an editor and more like having an advocate in my corner. If you want someone who stays in the background but quietly lifts your work, Ken is hard to beat.”
* Communications consultant Bradley Burck contacted me in the fall of 2025 for help editing and expanding a book he plans to release in the coming year, Handbook for the College Graduate: How to Thrive, Grow, and Build a Life You Love. In commenting on our 15-year-long relationship, Bradley notes he continues to rely on my “steady hand and clear voice. He has ghostwritten articles, blog posts, and books for my clients … Give him direction and watch him deliver exactly what you want.”
During my career, I have ghostwritten, edited, or contributed to more than 100 books and have more than 4,800 article bylines. In other words, I know my way around the written page. Let me know if I can be of service.

Chasing Rich: Men, Miracles, and the God Among Us
“Ken Walker is the rare kind of editor who can make your book better without making it his. He took my manuscript for The Toybox Rewired and helped turn it into a clear, engaging read—cleaning up the narrative, sharpening the prose, and keeping my voice intact. He caught things I’d missed, tightened the flow, and offered practical suggestions that deepened both the message and the emotion. Working with him felt less like hiring an editor and more like having an advocate in my corner. If you want someone who stays in the background but quietly lifts your work, Ken is hard to beat.”
— Phil Phillips, Author The Toybox Rewired
