About Inklet Press

Welcome to Inklet Press, a place where stories aren’t just read — they’re lived. Where dragons might hide in laundry baskets, wardrobes could lead somewhere magical, and the right book at the right time can make a child (or an adult) gasp, laugh, or believe a little more in the impossible.

Born from a pandemic-born creative writing group, Inklet Press grew into a passionate publisher dedicated to books that inspire, entertain, and spark curiosity for readers of all ages. From adventurous fiction to imaginative non-fiction, every story is crafted to nudge hearts toward bravery, wonder, and a little mischief along the way.

Inspired by the Inklings — C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, and their merry band of thinkers who believed imagination was sacred work — we create tales that are small rebellions against the mundane, invitations to laughter, adventure, and thinking that lingers long after the last page is turned.

Pull up a chair, pour yourself a cup of tea, and explore a world where every story carries heart, humor, and the kind of magic you didn’t know you were missing.
