Koehler Books Publishing

Winona Howe

"I feel fortunate to have discovered Koehler Books. The information on their website and the video that John Koehler and Joe Coccaro made about the company and their publishing process intrigued me. I became convinced that this was a publishing house that was open and trustworthy, and that would work with me to publish my debut novel, Sita and the Prince of Tigers. And I was right! John Koehler nurtures writers—he was accessible, heard what I had to say and offered advice and support.  Hannah Woodlan shared helpful tips during the editing process, and Danielle Koehler produced a stunning cover that perfectly reflected the spirit of the book. The Koehler Pocket Guide to Publishing and Pocket Guide to Marketing were also beneficial. It should be no surprise that my second manuscript went directly to Kohler Books,  because the Koehler team is committed to working together with authors to make their books the best that they can be."
