Resources
Meet our publicity and design experts.
The publishing experts are vendors and companies recommended by Köehler Books for authors to consider hiring to promote, market and publicize their work. They have worked directly with some of our authors, earning those authors' trust and ours. The services they provide are optional for any author and are not offered directly by Köehler Books. The author is responsible for carefully making up their own mind, as well as any business arrangements between the author and the expert, including contracts and payments.

Amazon Bestseller Campaign
Krish Media Marketing works with authors and publishers who have control over the pricing so they can run a 99 cent Kindle promotion. If this can be done, then they can analyze key words and days to run the campaign. They will then come back with a date for you to change the price of the book to 99 cents and another date for the author or publisher to change the price of the book back to original price.
This costs $499 up front.
The rest of the ranking cost is performance-based compensation:
#5 - $99 bonus
#4 - $199 bonus
#3 - $299 bonus
#2 - $399 bonus
#1 - $499 bonus
We monitor the rankings the days of the promotion and will provide screenshots of the rise.

Emerging Authors Program
The Emerging Authors Program is designed primarily for debut or emerging writers who have the talent, but not necessarily the experience or platform, to merit a traditional publishing deal.
Design
While the quality of your writing is the main determiner of commercial success, also important is your book design, or as the industry calls it, your package.
Distribution
Our distribution is provided by Ingram, one of the biggest and best book distributors in the world. They give us—and our titles—reach.
Editing
When you submit a manuscript for publication, it will be evaluated in part on which level of editing the publisher thinks the book requires.
Marketing
Köehler Books partners with authors to create comprehensive marketing programs that include conventional media, social media and other ways to build a buzz and raise awareness about your book.
Here’s our gift to you.
