You want to publish a book, but…

The process feels overwhelming

Editing, cover design, ISBNs, distribution, and marketing all have to come together in the right order. You need an experienced team that understands the entire publishing ecosystem.

You're unsure how to shape your book

You have strong ideas, but you’re not certain how to translate them into a clear structure, argument, and publishing plan that will resonate with readers.

You don’t know where to begin

What belongs in the book? How should it be organized? Writing and publishing a major work can feel daunting, especially when you’ve never done it before.

You don’t know who to trust

Publishing is too significant an investment to choose the wrong partner. You want an experienced, reputable team that can give you sound, strategic guidance.

As a ghostwriter and two-time bestselling author, I know how demanding publishing can be. My team and I are here to make bringing your book into the world clear, efficient, and expertly overseen.

01
What kinds of books do you write and publish?
Cheval Press publishes nonfiction books, with a primary focus on business titles, thought-leadership books by experts in any industry, and high-quality memoir. As a ghostwriting and publishing team, we work across a range of related nonfiction topics while maintaining rigorous editorial standards and a strong commitment to preserving each author’s authentic voice.
02
How long does the publishing process take?
Most book projects take between nine and twelve months from kickoff to publication, depending on scope and complexity. That timeline includes interviews, writing, editing, design, and production—all managed by our team.
03
What's included in the publishing package?
Every project includes writing, editing, design, layout, publishing, distribution, and marketing support. Our goal is to handle the entire process so you can focus on your ideas.
04
How does hybrid publishing differ from traditional publishing?
In traditional publishing, the publisher owns the rights and makes most creative decisions. In hybrid publishing, you retain full ownership and creative control—with our team providing the same level of quality and professionalism as traditional houses.
05
Can you help promote my book after it's published?
Yes. We offer bespoke pre- and post-launch marketing support—which can include strategic consulting, media kit development, targeted press and podcast outreach, and submission of your manuscript for reviews and awards—with the goal of ensuring your book continues to create visibility and opportunity long after publication.
06
How much time will I need to commit?
The full process—including writing and publishing—typically takes about 12 months. Your personal time commitment, however, is intentionally light.

During the writing phase, you can expect approximately 15-20 hours total in structured Zoom conversations, plus time to review your manuscript and share feedback at key milestones.

Once your book moves into production, you should plan for roughly 5-10 hours of calls and review time (this may vary slightly depending on your preferences and project scope).

During launch week, most authors choose to spend additional time engaging with readers, participating in media opportunities, and celebrating the release.
07
What if I already have some of the work done?
That’s great — we can build from where you are. Whether you’ve written a draft, outlined chapters, or just have notes, we’ll shape what’s there into a professional, cohesive manuscript.
08
Do I retain the rights to my book?
Yes. You retain full rights to your book and can use it however you like—for speaking engagements, courses, or future publishing opportunities.
09
Do you rely on AI to create books or content?
No. We do not use AI to write, edit, design, or proofread your work. While AI tools are increasingly common, many outlets and publishers scrutinize or reject AI-generated content, and there remain open questions around originality and copyright. More importantly, much AI-generated writing lacks the nuance, judgment, and voice that serious authors deserve.

That’s why every project begins with a human-to-human onboarding conversation to understand your goals, perspective, and way of thinking. From there, our experienced writers, editors, and designers create and refine your work through an intentional, collaborative process. We believe your book is more than a collection of words—it is how your expertise will be remembered—and we are committed to doing it right.
