Welcome to In Pursuit Books
In Pursuit Books is our full-service imprint for writers who want to tell the story of their company or a person behind its success. Often, a business book serves as a branding tool that inspires others to succeed. For nonprofits it can be an impressive recruiting tool or a gift of appreciation to donors.

















































Businesses may submit a finished manuscript that we will edit, or we can provide a writer to craft your story. We will then collaborate with you on the creative development and other publication details. We also provide a marketing program to maximize exposure and sales. Your book will be produced as a softcover, hardcover and e-book. All three versions will be available for purchase through Ingram’s international distribution network.
We offer traditional and co-publishing options. Scroll down for details.
Meet your publisher and executive editor.
John Köehler and Joe Coccaro talk about their passion—helping other authors achieve their dreams.
We publish two ways.
Traditional Publishing
- 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.
Hybrid/Co-Publishing
- 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.
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.
