Publishing for hedge fund managers and CIOs
Allocators commit on conviction about how a manager thinks, not only on track record. A book on your market philosophy or investment approach, written to stay clear of fund-marketing rules, puts that thinking on the record in depth.
Tell us your strategy and the allocators you want to reach. A specialist replies within one business day with the path that fits and a written price.
The short answer
Columbia Publication publishes books for hedge fund managers through three programs: the Authority System at $4,999 (your manuscript copyedited, designed, published and launched with an author website and press release), Authority Plus from $7,500 (editing at all three levels, an audiobook, 15 printed copies and the 3-Day Bestseller Launch Campaign), and the Gravitas Press imprint from $25,000 with your manuscript, up to $45,000 written with you from structured interviews, about fifteen to eighteen hours of your time. Every manuscript is written to the professional rules that apply to you and signed off by you before print, and you keep 100% of rights and royalties.

Is this you?
Letters and decks reach the people who already know you.
Your best thinking sits in quarterly letters and DDQ responses that only existing and prospective LPs see. The wider market of allocators, consultants and journalists rarely meets it.
A book on your market philosophy reaches them, written so that it does not market a fund. We write it with you from interviews, your CCO and counsel sign off, and it is published under your name.
Start here
Three programs, depending on what the book has to do and how much you want to write yourself.
| Program | Price | Choose it if |
|---|---|---|
| Authority System | $4,999 | You have the manuscript and want it copyedited, designed, published and launched with an author website and press release |
| Authority Plus | From $7,500 | You have the manuscript and want the full launch: three levels of editing, an audiobook, 15 printed copies and the 3-Day Bestseller Launch Campaign |
| Gravitas Press | From $25,000, up to $45,000 | You want the book written with you from interviews, or your manuscript elevated, under the executive imprint with PR strategy. See Gravitas Press |

What a book does
A book shows your reasoning at a depth no pitch book can.
Published managers are easier to find and to recommend.
Principals who read your book reach out on their own terms.
Published managers are invited to speak and to comment.
Results depend on how the book is used. We do not promise outcomes, and we do not publish client figures we cannot evidence.
Not sure which book fits your practice? The free strategy call answers that.

Professional rules
Your time
If you write the manuscript yourself, production takes 4 to 9 weeks from an approved quote. If you would rather talk than write, a senior writer builds the book from structured interviews: about fifteen to eighteen hours of your time in total, in sessions of about forty-five minutes scheduled around your calendar, plus a review of each chapter. Co-authored books are welcome; each author is interviewed separately.
When it is done
An allocator you have never met mentions your book in a first call and asks about chapter six. The conversation starts with your reasoning, not your deck.
Programs
Three paths, each in a written quote before anything starts.
