A publishing partner built with intention

Olive, Ember & Ink began when our founder set out to publish her own book and discovered how limiting the available paths could be. Large self-publishing services offered ease, but not the level of support or quality she expected. High-volume vanity presses felt misaligned with the brand she had worked so hard to build. Traditional publishers offered prestige, yet their long timelines and limited author control felt like huge sacrifices.

It became clear that authors deserved a better option. They should not have to choose between DIY overwhelm, impersonal, volume-driven services, or publishing pipelines that move too slowly for their goals. Books deserve craftsmanship. Authors deserve clarity, respect, and a partner who treats their work with care.

Olive, Ember & Ink was created as that partner. A selective hybrid press with a simple three-part promise: Wise guidance (olive), real momentum (ember), and beautiful execution (ink).
