Welcome to Emrae Publishing! We're an indie press focused on bringing unique stories to readers directly, instead of through channels like Amazon that pay our authors less.

Our eBooks are delivered via an email from BookFunnel instantly after you purchase, and you own the file. This means no one can decide that smut is no longer legal and rip it from your library, or that our eBook containing the Constitution and Bill of Rights can't be altered or removed.

Not that anyone would ever do that.

eBook files can be used on any device, including Kindles!

Print orders always arrive signed and with bookmarks and stickers as a thank you for investing in printed media.

Every purchase directly supports the author, editor, and marketer who brought the book to life in a profit share system that maximizes everyone's earnings, and Bezos never sees a dime.

Thanks for shopping with us and making it possible to publish more stories.

There used to be two options for authors. Traditional publishing requires a literary agent and years of time. Self-publishing requires a lot of investment on your part up front and a host of skills that most writers don't possess at the outset.

And don't even get us started on the secret third option, hybrid publishing, which typically costs the author thousands and nets zero benefits.

At Emrae, we think there's a way to pull this shit off without costing artists their sanity.

We approach each book like a group project. Every manuscript we take on gets an editor and a marketer to work alongside the author to co-create a polished, beautiful book and marketing strategy.

Instead of investing money in the form of an advance on the publisher's side, we invest our time and talent to create the best possible version of your story and a plan to make sure it gets to your target market.

And then? You get 60% of your royalties (compared to 10-15%), Emrae keeps 20% to help fund our marketing, and your editorial team splits the remaining 20%.

Everyone is investing in the success of the book, so everyone gives it their all.

We only profit if you do.

Coming early 2026!

Some authors want to do it all, and we love that for you. So much so that we want to promote the hell out of it.

Many indie authors wish they could distribute widely (meaning, not participate in Amazon's Kindle Unlimited program) but don't have the funds to support their own website and eBook delivery system.

Emrae is excited to announce our Indie Author Marketplace, where authors can list their eBooks with us and keep 80% of their sales price, paid out on a quarterly basis.

The remaining 20% goes toward the website and hosting fees.

Indie Marketplace participants will also be included in our newsletters that go out to over 2,000 readers and will be promoted across our social channels.

Interested in joining the marketplace? Apply here.

Unsure where to even start with publishing? We're happy to hop on a call and walk you through our process, as well as work with you 1:1 on editing, publishing, and marketing services.
