Expert Guidance for Navigating Your Author Journey
So you want to publish a non-fiction book?
Fantastic! No matter where you are in the process, our combined 27 years of industry experience working on New York Times bestsellers will make the path ahead clearer and easier to navigate, whether you…
dream of becoming an author but need guidance on next steps and choosing the right publishing path,
want to turn your rough concept into a proposal that will get you an agent and a book deal,
need an expert editor to hone the material you’re currently writing,
are self-publishing but don’t want to do it alone,
have already signed with a traditional or hybrid publisher but want more editorial or marketing support,
or have already finished your book and need help getting it into the hands of readers.
Publishing is a long, sometimes arduous journey, but it doesn’t have to be—as long as you have the right copilot by your side. We can guide you every step of the way, from creative take-off to marketing launch to landing on the bestseller lists!
Meet your copilots.
We’ve been each other’s copilots and “work wives” for most of our careers, having followed each other from HarperCollins to Chronicle Books to Wonderwell. Copilot Publishing is the culmination of our shared passion for books, strong work ethic, devotion to excellence, and deep friendship. (We also love cocktails, oysters, Halloween, Hallmark movies, and karaoke bars.)
