Our works
Meet your publisher.
John Köehler and Joe Coccaro talk about their passion—helping authors achieve their dreams.
We publish three ways.
Traditional Publishing
Typically for established writers with superb stories
- This option is normally only for seasoned writers (with or without an agent) with superb work and a verifiable track record of sales and marketing success. The term traditional means that the author will not pay for any development costs or fees, and will typically be offered an advance payment on royalties.
Co-Publishing
Typically for emerging and established writers
- This option is best for emerging writers with high-quality work desiring a professional-level publishing experience. Writers accepted into our Emerging Author Program are positioned to land a traditional deal on subsequent books. Those best suited for this program are motivated and collaborative, and receive the same level of editing, creative development and marketing as our traditional authors.
Self-Publishing
Typically for new writers and those who want full control
- This option is best for entrepreneurial authors who wish to manage sales and distribution of their work, or who just want a limited number of books for personal use. We provide all of the creative development and technical expertise, and then position and train the author to publish through IngramSpark.
With Koehler Books as your trusted partner, we can help you…
- make your story the best it can be.
- enhance your book’s saleability.
- take advantage of coaching and learning opportunities.
- access world-class distribution and publishing services.

"I had three books with Bantam which is part of Random House. I can honestly say that my best experience in my publishing career has been with Koehler Books. They are responsive, innovative, supportive. They actually listen to their authors. Koehler is simply a very good publisher.”

Christopher Bowron
Koehler Books helped me to create a book that made it to No. 1 on Amazon. I'd like to think that I'm a good writer, but without a doubt, I'd not have reached my potential without their guidance and expertise. I'm proud that I'm a Koehler author.
