Kirsten “Kiki” Ringer’s passion for publishing began in kindergarten when she wrote her first book, Ruby Diamond and the Jewel Thief. With nearly 30 years in the publishing and entertainment industries, her experience includes The Walt Disney Studios, Penguin Putnam, and the venerable Russell & Volkening Literary Agency in New York, where she worked with Nobel and Pulitzer Prize-winning authors. With a keen eye for the challenges authors face in the ever-evolving world of publishing, Kiki established a mission to change the narrative of the publishing industry by providing an accessible, holistic approach to marketing and publishing books. Be it through traditional publishing avenues or independent endeavors, Kiki understands that every author requires steadfast assistance from someone they trust. The culmination of this being KLR Literary Management, which was created on the basic principle of giving writers a place where all they do is write. Kiki takes the overwhelm out of your entire book publishing process and guides you with savvy and skill. She prides herself on the commitment made to every author and their career as a whole. Kiki is a 500-hr certified yoga instructor and mindfulness practitioner. When she’s not training for a triathlon, she’s most often found snuggling her Dobermans. Though she does take off Saturdays during the fall to watch college football.
