Publishing Foundation
Your story is written. Let's build what comes next—by preparing bespoke, approval-ready materials for the publishing work around one book. You retain every final decision and carry out any external action.
One-time engagement
Five completed, review-ready packages for one book, within seven business days after Ink Cadence confirms complete onboarding in writing. The delivery clock begins only after Ink Cadence confirms complete onboarding in writing. The package prepares the work; it does not publish, send, post, buy, contact, or change accounts on your behalf.
$297 USD for one book, paid once. Five completed, review-ready packages. Delivery is targeted within seven business days after Ink Cadence confirms complete onboarding in writing. Read the full operating terms.
What Ink Cadence needs
The five paid deliverables
Each package has a defined format and completion standard. The sequence below is the order Ink Cadence prepares the foundation.
01
A concise, approval-ready foundation for the book’s reader promise and the author context that supports it.
What you can do next: Use the approved direction to make your own publishing and messaging decisions.
Completion standard: Prepared for author review with sources, assumptions, and recommendation labels.
02
A review-ready retailer description, subtitle direction where useful, keywords, categories, and metadata notes.
What you can do next: Adapt and enter the approved copy in the retailer or distributor tools you choose.
Completion standard: Prepared for author review; Ink Cadence does not upload it to a retailer or distributor.
03
A practical author story, professional bio, voice guidance, and core language for author-owned use.
What you can do next: Use the approved language wherever you decide your author presence needs it.
Completion standard: Prepared for author review; no website, profile, or account is changed.
04
A paced, author-controlled calendar that organizes the approved operational work around one book.
What you can do next: Use the approved calendar to sequence your own next actions and partners.
Completion standard: Prepared for author review; it does not post, purchase, send, or activate work.
05
A concise, review-ready sequence of reader welcome emails for the author’s chosen email platform.
What you can do next: Adapt and load the approved sequence in the email platform you control.
Completion standard: Prepared for author review; Ink Cadence does not connect, queue, or send email.
Operating terms
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
