Collaborist is co-owned by Jason Buchholz and Ben LeRoy, longtime friends and associates in the editing and publishing worlds. Their partnership began more than a decade ago, when Ben, who was then the founder and publisher at Tyrus Books, published Jason’s first novel, A Paper Son. When Tyrus Books was sold to Simon & Schuster, it meant Jason had to find a new publisher, but it also meant they could go into business together, combining their passion, enthusiasm, and expertise to develop and amplify the voices of other authors.

They’ve worked together on countless books across a range of genres, including novels, memoirs, prescriptive nonfiction, and personal development. They don’t believe in one-size-fits-all approaches, so they tailor their services for every project, working in concert with their authors to bring deliberate, artful literature into the world.
