Services
Ember & Ink Press offers three ways to partner with authors—from the first spark of an idea to a finished, publish-ready manuscript. All projects begin with an application and a discovery call to ensure we’re the right fit for each other.
service 1
Book Coaching—Done With You
You have a story to tell. We help you tell it—your way, on your timeline, with expert guidance at every step.
Our Book Coaching program is a structured, fixed-term partnership designed to take you from concept to completed manuscript. You write. We guide, encourage, push back when needed, and help you solve the problems that every author faces.
What's Included:
Structured program, typically 12–20 weeks, scoped to your project
Weekly one-on-one coaching calls
Manuscript feedback and editorial notes at each stage
Publishing roadmap — self-publishing or traditional
Email support between sessions
Monthly retainer option for authors who need more time
Ideal for Authors Who:
Have a strong idea but need structure and accountability
Want to own their creative process but benefit from expert guidance
Are writing their first book or stepping into a new genre
Investment:
12-Week Program: from $3,500
16-Week Program: from $4,500
Monthly Retainer Extension: $500/month
Single Discovery Session (1 hr): $125 — applicable toward a package
service 2
Ghostwriting—Done For You
Some stories need to be written. Some voices need to be heard. But not everyone has the time, the training, or the disposition to sit down and write a book—and that’s completely okay.
Our ghostwriting service puts our pen in the service of your vision. We conduct in-depth discovery interviews, capture your voice, and produce a manuscript that is unmistakably yours—ready to publish under your name, on your terms.
What's Included:
In-depth discovery interviews and research
Detailed chapter outline for your approval
Full manuscript draft in your voice
Up to three rounds of revision
Complete confidentiality — your book, your name
Optional add-on: Publishing Management (cover, formatting, ISBN, retailer upload)
Ideal for:
Business leaders, coaches, and speakers with a message to share
Individuals with a powerful personal story
Authors with a clear vision who need an expert to execute it
Investment:
Short Book (20–40k words): from $12,000
Full Book (50–80k words): from $22,500
Full Book + Publishing Management: from $30,000
Note: Ghostwriting projects are accepted selectively. A discovery call and application are required.
service 3
Editing & Proofreading—Done For You
You’ve written the book. Now let’s make it the best version of itself.
Our editing services meet your manuscript at whatever stage it’s in—and elevate it. We offer three levels of editing, available individually or as a complete suite.
Developmental Editing
Big-picture structure, story arc, pacing, and clarity. We look at the whole before we touch the parts. Ideal for manuscripts that need reshaping before a line edit.
From $0.09/word
Copy Editing
Grammar, style, consistency, and flow—line by line. We align your manuscript with your voice while ensuring it reads cleanly and professionally.
From $0.03/word
Proofreading
Final-stage polish before publication. We catch what spellcheck misses and ensure your manuscript is error-free and press-ready.
From $0.02/word
Full Edit Suite
All three passes—developmental, copy, and proof—at a combined rate. The most thorough option for manuscripts preparing for publication.
From $0.14/word
Manuscript Critique
Not ready for a full edit? A manuscript critique delivers a detailed written evaluation of your work—strengths, weaknesses, and a clear path forward—without line edits.
From $600
