Publish.
Entrechat Press reflects the company’s commitment to developing first-time nonfiction authors through high touch editorial and publishing support.
Based in Toronto, we publish a curated list of purpose-driven nonfiction and support authors through an end-to-end path from first draft to finished book.
FROM MANUSCRIPT TO FINISHED BOOK
The Process
Phase 1
Edit for impact
Once the draft is on the page, we refine it. This is where we tighten the narrative, sharpen the ideas, and make sure your voice sounds like you on your best day. We move through a clear editorial process, with room for your feedback at every stage, until we have a clean, publish ready manuscript.
Phase 2
Design the book, inside and out
Next, the manuscript becomes a book. We design a professional cover, typeset the interior, and prepare files for print and digital platforms. You will see proofs at each stage and have a chance to weigh in on look and feel.
Phase 3
Print and distribute
When you approve the design, we set your book up for printing. That can include print on demand, a local print run for launch events, or both. We handle the technical details—things like ISBNs, spine width, and printer specs, so you can focus on the thrilling part: opening that first box of books.
Entrechat Press titles are printed locally for events and hand selling, listed on major online retailers through print on demand, and pitched to independent bookstores and specialty shops where your readers already spend time. Together we will decide what makes sense for your book, your audience, and your goals.
Entrechat Press was built for first-time nonfiction authors who care deeply about their work and their legacy. You are treated as a partner, not a product.
We combine the professionalism of traditional publishing with the flexibility of independent publishing, while offering hands-on editorial, production, and strategic support at every stage.
This is publishing designed for leaders, thinkers, and founders who want to do it right the first time.
Publishing has no shortage of options. What makes Entrechat Press different is not just how we publish, but how we treat our authors.

An entrechat is a classical ballet jump.
It requires years of training, perfect timing, and the courage to leave the ground.
The movement itself is defined by crossing, interweaving legs.
We chose the name Entrechat Press because publishing a first book works the same way.
Writing a book is a leap. It is a moment where preparation meets risk.
From the outside, the result can look effortless. But behind the scenes, we know it is anything but.
At the same time, no entrechat happens alone. It requires alignment, trust, and collaboration: author and publisher moving together.
Entrechat Press exists to support that leap. We bring structure, experience, and care. You bring the story, the ideas, and the voice. Together, we create work that is intentional, rigorous, and worthy of lasting impact.
This is where courage meets craft.
