Welcome to Köehler Kids.

 

Köehler Kids is our full-service children’s book imprint. Authors submit a finished manuscript along with high-resolution illustrations. We will then collaborate with you on the creative development and other publication details. Your book may be produced as a softcover, hardcover and e-book. All three versions will be available for purchase through Ingram’s international distribution network.

You can check out some of our amazing children’s books by going to this page.

We offer traditional and co-publishing models. Details shown here.

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

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.
See full details

Hybrid/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.

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.

John Koehler had the courage to publish Arc of the Comet despite its length and the pretensions of its author. His care for and nurturing of writers should be the standard for every publisher. I’m immensely grateful for his faith and encouragement.  Joe Coccaro and Elizabeth Marshall McClure buffed and polished a manuscript heavy on words and sometimes lacking precision. They’ve sharpened the finished product in ways I never could.  I’m fortunate to be in a partnership with a publisher who is thoroughly professional, completely accessible, and, in the end, as much a friend as a colleague.

My experience with Koehler Books has been everything a writer ever dreams and hopes for in a publishing company. From the very first book to my most recent third book I have been in awe of how they were able to translate my ideas into form. The design team created the book covers exactly as I wanted them. All my books are works of art! It has been such a privilege to have John Koehler as my publisher. I highly recommend this publishing house to any author.
