Timeframe

12 months

Dr. Pete started his author journey with all of the key ingredients in place: a unique voice, professional writing skills, an important message to share, and good stories to tell. He even had the book outlined and ready to write.What was missing? The time to write it and the know-how to self-publish. So he called up a pro publishing team to get the job done.

Our Solution

Dr. Pete brought expertise, anecdotes, and a strong understanding of his writing voice to our partnership. It was our job to turn his ideas and outline into a finished product.

‍

Throughout a months-long series of interviews, we extracted his expertise and got to know his unique author voice. We worked together to write the manuscript chapter-by-chapter, edit it to perfection, nail the cover design, and complete the publishing process.

Plot Twists

Every path to publishing has its challenges. Here’s what Dr. Pete was up against.

No time to write.

With professional writing training under his belt, Dr. Pete knew he could draft a manuscript. He just didn't have the time. He was too busy to sit and write the book himself.

Voice concerns.

Dr. Pete put extensive work into developing his distinct voice. He wanted his book to sound like him, not like the technical writing that’s common in the world of medicine.

New to publishing.

You don’t know what you don’t know. Every step of the publishing process is new to first-time authors like Dr. Pete, from editing to cover design and ISBNs.

Results

The Resolution

The end of this chapter marks a new beginning. With his first book, Becoming Good Stewards of Antibiotics, gaining traction, Dr. Pete has much to be proud of.

Great reception.

From professional colleagues to community members, Dr. Pete’s developed a loyal fanbase. One of his readers even purchased 25 copies for their board of directors and staff.

Bandaid ripped.

The first book you write is the hardest. Dr. Pete has earned the ‘published author’ title (and the perks that come with it, he’s found).

Big plans.

At the time of this writing, Dr. Pete has his second book on the way with Cheval Press. We love when our authors catch the publishing bug!

"When we started the publishing end of things, I thought, “Imagine some first-time author taking on all of this by themselves!” They’d make a lot of mistakes. Working with you all, I felt good. I knew that as long as I did what you recommended, everything would work out perfectly."
