As they confront old feelings they both thought were long buried, wedding bells start to sound more like a funeral march.

About Emrae Publishing
Emrae is a small press operating on a profit-share model. We are looking for authors with incredible talent, but also a deep passion for taking a completely different path to publishing.
We approach books as a team sport.
Every project we take on gets an editorial team assigned to bring it to life, from developmental editing, to creative, to marketing and distribution. We don't pay advances, but we also don't charge you a dime for editing, cover design, formatting, or publishing. Instead, we work together to hone your vision, and we split the profits.
What does working with us actually look like?
Have you ever had a bunch of really cool sisters who share all their knowledge and also cheer you on big time at every milestone?
You do now.
