ebookwriting.ai — A publishing house, online

Books,
written into the future.

A small house of writers, illustrators and publishers. We take ideas from the napkin, the voice memo, the half-finished draft — and return them as books worth holding, with the author's name on the cover and one hundred per cent of the copyright in the author's hands.

Interlude · A specimen page

A page from our books.

You can judge a publisher by their typesetting. The kerning of the chapter opening. The way the drop cap meets the body. The breathing room around the folio. The fact that the line lengths look effortless — which is the most expensive thing on a printed page.

This is a real spread from one of our 2026 titles, set in the type we set most of our literary fiction in: Source Serif, optical-sized for body, italic for emphasis, with a wine-coloured drop cap on chapter openings. Every book we make passes through this exact craft step before it goes to print.

From the post.

A small selection of notes we have kept, with permission.

“

The most useful thing they did was tell me, in the second call, that my draft was actually two books in a trench coat. They were right. We split it. Both came out the better for it.

I came in with three watercolours and a story my daughter had narrated into my phone. They turned it into a real picture book — on Amazon, in print, with my name on the spine.

I have hired ghostwriters before. This was the first time the manuscript actually sounded like me — not like a thoughtful person impersonating me.

The KDP file passed validation the first time. After two years of rejections from a different service, this alone was worth the fee. The cover sold the book; the typesetting kept the reader.

InterludeWhy us

Seven things we promise, in writing.

Not a comparison. A list of commitments we sign into every contract — and the small proof beside each one.

  1. I.

    The author keeps one hundred percent of the rights.

    Print, digital, audio, translation, film. Yours, from the moment the first draft lands on the page. Written into the first paragraph of every contract.

    100%Author copyright
  2. II.

    A named editor and writer, from page one to launch day.

    You meet them in week one. You email them directly. They are on the colophon of your book. We do not pass manuscripts around an anonymous pool.

    2namesOn every project
  3. III.

    AI for the homework. Human hands on every line.

    Research, voice-sample studies, validation passes — accelerated by AI. The book itself is written, edited and shaped by named humans. Your manuscript is never used to train a third-party model.

    0linesShipped unread
  4. IV.

    A fixed-price proposal in forty-eight hours.

    Round figures, not bids. No surprise add-ons after the contract is signed. If a scope changes mid-project, we tell you in writing before the next sentence is drafted.

    48hrsFrom brief to quote
  5. V.

    Every file passes the store on the first submission.

    Every EPUB and KDP file is auto-checked against thirty-plus rejection criteria before it leaves the studio. If a store rejects it, we re-cut it at our cost. Zero KDP rejections across forty-seven titles in 2025.

    0/472025 rejections
  6. VI.

    A plain-English contract. NDA on request.

    Two pages, not twenty. Authorship, royalties, IP, kill-fee and timelines on one side of the table. If your lawyer wants to redline a clause, ours will pick up the phone.

    2pagesAverage contract
  7. VII.

    Transparent pricing. No call-to-quote walls.

    Edition I, II and III sit on the home page with their starting figures. Custom work is quoted in two paragraphs and a number — never hidden behind a sales-call funnel.

The Patterns We Inherit — Chan Thai · Biography
Editor's pick · May 2026

The Patterns We Inherit

"With a tender yet unsentimental lens, the narrative examines love as a delicate balancing act between separate identities, finite emotional capacities, and the unseen ancestral patterns we carry. True healing is framed not as a crowning achievement, but as the enduring courage to stay present in the messiness of reality instead of retreating into isolation."

Picked by Kevin Anderson · Senior Editor
InterludeQuestions

The questions we are asked most.

Eight answers, written in plain English. Anything we didn't cover, send to contact@ebookwriting.ai.

How long does it take to make a book?
From four weeks for a short children's book to eighteen weeks for a 70,000-word memoir. You'll get an exact week-by-week calendar in your proposal — and we ship the dates you can hold us to.
Who owns the rights to my book?
You do. One hundred per cent. Your name goes on the cover, the ISBN is registered in your name, the KDP and Apple accounts are yours, and the copyright is yours from the first word — confirmed in plain-English contract terms before any work begins.
What does it actually cost?
Edition I starts at $1,200, Edition II at $3,800, Edition III is quoted per project. We always send a fixed price (or a tight range if we need a sample chapter first) before any work begins. No surprises mid-project.
What's your revision policy?
Drafts arrive in fortnightly batches and you mark them up freely. Revisions happen inside the same batch — there is no separate "revision round." Cover design includes two concepts with three revisions each.
What if I don't like the draft?
We catch that in the first two batches — that's the whole point of fortnightly delivery. If we are seriously off after batch two, we'll re-cast the project (with a different writer if needed) or refund any unstarted work. We have never had to refund a full project in eleven years.
Do you sign NDAs?
On request, especially for memoirs and business books. Send us yours, or use the short plain-English NDA we provide. Confidentiality is the default for all client work regardless.
How do you use AI?
AI helps with research, structural drafting, comp-title analysis and production validation. A named human editor and writer are responsible for every page that leaves the house. Your manuscript is never used to train any third-party model. We have a full disclosure section above this one.
What about KDP rejections?
Every file we ship is validated against epubcheck and KDP's rejection criteria before submission. In 2025 we had zero KDP rejections on first submission across forty-seven titles. If a file does come back, we fix and resubmit at no charge.
