Publishing with Inklet Press

How It Works

KNOW

We are a hybrid publisher. That means you invest a portion upfront, and we handle the majority of the publishing process in exchange for shared royalties. This allows authors to maintain creative ownership while receiving professional publishing support.

SUBMIT

Send us the first chapter and a synopsis on our project page or email to: info@inkletpress.com or through our “Your Project” page. Your manuscript should be fully written (it does not need to be fully edited). Please include any relevant notes about your vision for the book and how you see your intellectual property developing over time. 👉 Learn more on the “Your Project” page.

AGREE

Because every book is unique, every publishing agreement is tailored. We’ll review your project and agree together on clear, fair terms that support both your goals and the publishing process.

CREATE

Now it’s time to prepare your author presence. This includes your author website, bio, and any credentials or materials that help present your work professionally. We’re excited to welcome you into the Inklet Press community.

PUBLISH

Once everything is in place, we’ll produce your book according to the agreed timeline—available in paperback, hardcover, and eBook formats through Amazon. Your book will be ready to share, distribute, and review with confidence.

What If You’re Rejected?

Rejection is not the end of your story—it’s often the beginning of refinement.

As Samuel Beckett once wrote, “Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.”

At Inklet Press, we believe every serious writer deserves access to strong editorial support, publishing guidance, and creative partnership—whether we ultimately publish your book or not.

If your manuscript is not a fit for our hybrid publishing program, don’t worry. You can still work with us through our full range of professional services to help bring your book to life independently.

We offer support in editing, publishing preparation, design, formatting, and release strategy so you can confidently publish your work on your own terms.

After submitting your manuscript and it is approved (Congrats, you are becoming an author!):

  • We will contact you with an acceptance e-mail.

  • Create a website for yourself (this can be a one-page landing page. Having an active social media account and professional photo is helpful. Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it.

  • The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it.

  • Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now.

  • Later will take care of itself. It always does.
