How are you different than a publisher?
The market is filled with a broad variety of publishing options. But we understand that every author, project, and story is unique. That’s why, at Ember & Vine, our focus is YOU.
Ember & Vine provides the exact services you need (including advice and mentoring), tailoring our services to fit your specific goals and vision for each project.
Think of us as general contractors, coordinating and monitoring the progress of your book. We provide work-for-hire services and show you how to upload your manuscript for distribution. Then, when you publish that manuscript, you keep your rights and all the profit.
We do occasionally publish special projects, but we are not open to submissions at this time.
What Our Authors Say About Us
Award-Winning
“Not only did Janyre offer valuable feedback that fixed the broken areas of my story, but her insight improved the overall plot. This same novel went on to win the ACFW Genesis Award. If I hadn’t made her suggested changes, I doubt I would’ve even placed. I highly recommend her services.”
★★★★★
—Rachel Scott McDaniel, award-winning author of Above the Fold
A Dream
