How it works
Four steps from manuscript to published book.
Publishing is full of small decisions. We make them simple and keep them in order, so you're never lost between a finished draft and a book on the shelf.
One place
Your whole book, in one guided dashboard.
Upload, edit, design, and publish all happen in one place, with AI tools built in at every step. You always know what is done and what is next.

The toolset
Four studios behind every book.
The journey below runs on four studios — one makes and publishes the book, one illustrates it page by page, one makes the visuals and video, and one writes the copy and the launch plan.
Publishing Studio
Make the book and get it on every shelf.
The guided path from manuscript to published book — edit, design, format, and publish to every major channel, all in one place.
- Professional edit and proofread
- Cover and interior design
- ISBN, metadata, and pricing
- eBook, paperback, hardcover, and audiobook distribution
Creative Studio
Turn your book into visuals and video.
An AI creative studio for everything readers see — pick a model, set the length, and see the cost before you generate.
- Book covers
- Promo images
- Book trailers (video)
- Social packs and ad creative
Marketing Studio
Write the words and the launch plan.
Describe your book and generate a complete launch kit — the copy that sells it and a plan to run the launch.
- Back-cover blurb
- Social post copy
- Ad headlines and CTAs
- A step-by-step launch plan
Illustration Studio
Picture-book art with a consistent cast.
Illustrate a children's book page by page — describe each scene, keep your characters identical across every page, and choose from over twenty illustration styles or name your own.
- Character reference portraits
- Page-by-page picture book art
- 20+ illustration styles, or describe your own
- Print-quality 2K images

Upload your manuscript
Create your project and upload your manuscript and a few details — title, author name, category. You'll get a record of your submission and a copyright statement for your work.
- 02
Edit and perfect
We review your manuscript for grammar, consistency, and flow. You stay in control of every change. Need a deeper edit? Add line or developmental editing at any point.
- 03
Design your cover and layout
Choose a cover direction and a clean interior format matched to your genre. Bring your own cover, or have ours designed for you.
- 04
Publish and distribute
Approve your files and we publish your book under the Ember House Press imprint — with our own ISBNs, so it's listed as published by a house, never “self-published.” eBook, paperback, hardcover, and audiobook, distributed across major channels and tracked from your dashboard.
