Work with us

You want to self-publish a book, but…

The process is confusing.

Editing, cover design, ISBNs, marketing… there’s a lot that goes into publishing a book. It helps to work with an elite team that knows the whole process.

Writing isn’t your forte

You could talk about your ideas for hours, but you struggle when it comes to writing them down. You need help organizing your thoughts and putting them into words.

You don’t know where to start

What chapters should you include? Should you outline it first? How? Writing a book is like nothing you’ve done before, so you aren’t sure how to properly begin.

You don’t know who to trust

Publishing is too large of a project to choose the wrong partner. You need to work with an experienced team who can give you expert recommendations.

As a book coach, ghostwriter, and two-time bestselling author, I know from experience that self-publishing can feel like a full-time job. My team and I are here to make publishing your book easy, efficient, and stress-free.

Hundreds of authors have turned ideas in their heads into successful books with the help of my team. See your book come to life in as little as 6 months.

01
What kinds of books do you write and publish?
Cheval Press publishes both nonfiction and fiction books. As a ghostwriter, I write about a wide range of nonfiction topics including tech, business, personal development, and more.
02
How long does the publishing process typically take?
Publishing can take 6-9 months, depending on the specifics of your project. In certain situations, the process can be done sooner. Your contract outlines your custom timeline.
03
Do you do everything yourself?
I work with a team of vetted designers, editors, proofreaders, and marketers to ensure every element of your book is in the best hands.
04
I already have an [editor/designer/etc.]. Can you work with them?
Of course! Cheval Press can manage the entire process for you or just the parts you need help with.
05
Are you comfortable signing an NDA?
Absolutely. We maintain strict confidentiality for all of our ghostwriting clients.
06
How much time will I have to invest?
While the complete process (ghostwriting and publishing) takes about 12 months, the amount of time you'll have to invest will be relatively minor.

For the ghostwriting portion, expect to spend about 10 hours total on Zoom calls. You will also need to spend some time reading your manuscript and providing feedback. Once your book moves into publishing, anticipate spending around 5 hours (sometimes more, sometimes less) on Zoom calls and production review. Finally, during launch week, anticipate devoting a significant amount of time to engaging with your readers and celebrating!
