Ember Muse Publishing is currently a small, woman-led press operating with care, intention, and limited capacity. We intentionally work with a select number of projects at a time to ensure each author receives thoughtful, hands-on support throughout the publishing process.
This means we do not publish at volume — and we don’t rush work to meet trends or timelines that compromise quality, care, or well-being.
Our standards exist to protect:
At this time, Ember Muse Publishing is prioritizing projects that align closely with our active imprints and current capacity.
We are most interested in:
Projects that thoughtfully bridge multiple imprints may also be considered.
To maintain quality and sustainability, Ember Muse is not currently reviewing:
This is not a reflection of merit — it is a reflection of capacity and alignment.
In certain cases, we may be able to consider projects that are substantially complete and require limited support, such as:
If your project falls into one of these categories, you may contact us briefly to explain your situation.
Please note:
Our priority remains thoughtful, sustainable publishing — for both authors and the press.
Alignment is about more than genre.
It includes:
Ember Muse Publishing is a hands-on, human-centered press. We work closely with each project to ensure the story is developed with care, not rushed to meet artificial deadlines or trends.
Thoughtful publishing takes time. Writing is a creative process — and like all meaningful creative work, it unfolds through collaboration, reflection, and refinement.
Not every manuscript is a fit — and that’s okay. Sometimes a “not yet” or “not here” is part of honoring the work itself.
Publishing should feel grounded — not pressured.
Every manuscript we accept is:
We believe clarity builds trust.
At Ember Muse Publishing, we value the creative process as much as the finished work. We respect the time, energy, and vulnerability it takes to bring a story forward—whether it begins as a fully developed manuscript or a well-formed idea still taking shape.
When appropriate and within our capacity, we may work with authors to help clarify their vision, refine direction, or determine what type of support best serves the project. Our goal is not to rush creation, but to guide it thoughtfully and responsibly.
If you reach out, please include a short summary (no attachments) outlining the project’s current stage and the specific support you’re seeking.

Publishing is a collaborative process built on alignment, communication, and shared expectations. While we are deeply committed to working with care and integrity, not every project—or partnership—is the right fit.
If your work isn’t aligned with Ember Muse’s vision, capacity, or editorial focus, we’ll communicate that respectfully. This is never a reflection of your worth or your story—only of fit and timing.
Our commitment is to:
Publishing should feel human, collaborative, and grounded—not rushed, transactional, or adversarial.
Ember Muse Publishing does not guarantee specific outcomes and cannot be responsible for dissatisfaction arising from misalignment or unmet expectations outside the agreed scope of work.
