Before you purchase
A clear working agreement before the work begins.
Ink Cadence prepares five customized, review-ready publishing packages from your structured book record. Preparation is not external execution: you retain ownership, discretion, final decisions, and every public, account, spend, and publishing action. This package does not include retailer or distributor uploads, publication, sending email, posting social content, advertising purchase, outreach, legal services, manuscript editing, cover design, or full-manuscript collection or analysis.
Prepared specifically for your book
Each package is prepared from your structured book record and author context, with sources, assumptions, and recommendation labels where relevant. You review each direction at the stated approval checkpoints; one focused revision is included for each paid deliverable.
Onboarding and timing
Complete onboarding occurs only when Ink Cadence has the required structured book record and author context, and confirms completeness in writing. That written confirmation starts the seven-business-day delivery clock.
Missing inputs, late author responses, or a material change to the book, readership, publishing route, or requested work pauses the timeline until Ink Cadence confirms the revised next step.
Manuscript and privacy
Do not send a full manuscript. Ink Cadence collects a structured book record, synopsis or book context, and optional short excerpts only.
The author retains ownership of the manuscript and intellectual property. Meaningful creative and publishing decisions remain author-controlled.
Fit and readiness
Best for authors with one book and a stable working title, genre, manuscript stage, publishing route, publication window, reader context, and the ability to review decisions at approval points.
An incomplete manuscript is welcome when those basics are stable enough to guide the work. Consider waiting if the book, readership, route, or publication window is still changing materially.
This is a one-book preparation foundation, not editing, design, legal advice, retailer operations, advertising, or an ongoing series-operations service.
Approvals and revisions
An approval accepts the presented direction for the delivered item. It does not authorize publishing, sending, posting, spending, outreach, or account changes.
One focused revision round is included for each paid deliverable when requested within the presented direction.
If a required decision or input is delayed, Ink Cadence pauses the affected work and confirms the revised delivery date after the author responds.
Cancellation and support
Before complete onboarding, the author may cancel for a full refund. After complete onboarding, refund requests are reviewed case by case based on completed work.
Questions, cancellations, and deletion requests: hello@emberhousepublishing.com. Ink Cadence will confirm the appropriate next step and help with cancellation, export, or deletion requests. Use this same address for questions before or after checkout.
