Xlibris Features Award-Winning Author Kevin Weeks

Kevin M. Weeks' personal story is just as intriguing and suspenseful as his debut novel. He was born the second of four children in West Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He spent most of his youth in and out of foster homes and juvenile detention centers. Deep inside he always knew he would be accomplished, especially when he was chosen to be in a documentary for the Boys Village of Maryland, a youth facility of the Maryland State Department of Juvenile Services. Years later, Kevin M. Weeks spent countless hours researching the publishing industry in order to become a self-published author, even though he is currently serving time at the Georgia Department of Corrections in Atlanta, Georgia.

Weeks took pleasure in working with Xlibris throughout his publishing experience. “Xlibris was and still is a great launch pad for my publishing career. Their entire staff is the most patient team of people I’ve ever known,” he said. Kevin M. Weeks continued, “One of the positive experiences for me in my relationship with Xlibris was that there has always been one Xlibris official who was my principal contact and to whom I could go with any problem or issue. I am fortunate to have found a partner such as Xlibris.”

Asked if he’d recommend Xlibris to other hopeful writers, he emphasized, “I already have recommended Xlibris to others; and I continue to work with Xlibris myself. My goal is to position The Street Life Series as a lucrative series for a major publishing firm to sign in the near future. Until then, I’ve personally scheduled for Xlibris to publish my next two books in the series.”
