Embere Press exists for one kind of moment: when you fall so far into a story that the hours stop mattering. We publish warm, propulsive, feeling-first fiction: enemies-to-lovers, slow burns, romantasy, second chances. And we sell it straight to you, no middleman, no waiting.
A traditional catalog, reopened online
Our story didn't begin online. Embere Press is the digital continuation of a small, traditional press with years of direct-to-reader print sales behind it. That backlist (thousands of readers, five-plus-star reviews, romance and fiction the shelves have quietly loved) is what we're carrying with us into this new home. What's new is who can find it: readers on their phones at midnight, anywhere in the world, one tap away from the same books our print buyers have been finishing at three in the morning for years.
Read before you buy
Every book comes with its first chapter free. If the voice grabs you, keep reading. One tap, and the whole book is on your device in seconds. No app to install and no account to create.
Built for writers, too
Behind the storefront is a small press that helps indie authors finish and sell their work: covers, proofreading, typesetting, and a route to readers who are already here. If you write romance, come and say hello.
Independent, on purpose
Staying independent lets us take chances on voices the big houses overlook and price books so readers can take a chance on them too. When you buy from Embere Press, almost all of it goes to the people who made the book.
