Why would I want to work with Kyle?
Great question! For over two decades, Kyle Fager of Your Words Literary Services has been reviewing, critiquing, editing, ghostwriting, and publishing manuscripts. He has worked with authors of varied backgrounds and experience levels, helping them turn their manuscripts into published books, major publishing contracts, and best sellers.
His clients have published mainstream novels, suspense thrillers, historical novels, mystery, sci-fi, crime, horror, women’s lit, romance, graphic novels, and more.
On the nonfiction side of the bookstore, you will find his clients’ work in the self-help, entrepreneurship, economics, investing, parenting, cooking, religion, science, memoir, biography, tell all, and professional legacy sections.
Kyle has also helped turn screenplays and show treatments into contracts for TV shows and major motion pictures.
If you decide to pursue a traditional publishing contract, Kyle can help you create a compelling book proposal to begin the process, and he can direct you to the literary agents best suited to represent your book.
If you decide that self-publishing is the best route for your manuscript, Kyle has worked with just about every major self-publisher in the country and can help you choose the right one for your project.
Whether it’s an idea for a book, a finished manuscript, or anything between, Kyle can help you shape your project into a meaningful, memorable, page-turning success.
What my clients are saying
-
As a first-time author, I needed guidance in all areas of editing and publishing. When I was introduced to Kyle, he walked me through the step-by-step process of what it was that he foresaw as my editing and publishing needs. Once we agreed on a plan, Kyle included me in every step of the editing and publishing phases. His timeline for completion of the project was met and I am completely happy with the outcome. If you are in need of a professional and experienced editor, Kyle Fager is your man.

For more than ten years, I had a book inside me that I truly struggled to get out. Kyle made that book a reality. A consummate professional, and a pleasure to work with, Kyle helped me transform my knowledge and message from live presentation to a high-level written deliverable, through a process that was easy, fun, and very respectful of my subject matter. No matter how many times I wanted to review, rethink, or rewrite, Kyle was there for me, as all that mattered to him was the perfection of the final product. I could not recommend Kyle and his team more highly, and I intend to use his services for all of my written projects in the future.

—Jack Cawthon
Author of The Prettiest Street in Savannah -
Finding Kyle Fager to edit and refine my first draft into a piece worthy of publication was nothing short of a Godsend. He helped turn this storyteller into a writer by suffering through a manuscript that was full of information but in need of professional help. His team at Your Words Literary Services then made my cover a work of art and made certain there would be a market to which the finished product would be accessible.
