Inkling Books

We help indie authors publish stories their way

Editing. Formatting. Audiobooks.

Ready to publish your book?

From first edit to final audiobook: one team of fellow authors who actually get it.

Writing a book or thinking about it?

​Want to know how the process works from editing to formatting to audiobook creation? We wrote a (nerdy) guide for that.

What's our Process?

Happy robot answering a call

We meet in a tavern

Let's meet virtually to chat about your work (if you're nearby, we'd be happy to chat about it over some grog or a nice cup of tea). Together, we can discuss what it is you envision for the project, as well as what assistance you'll need.

Pore over the tomes

 Once we've started your project, our resident scholar, Heather, will connect with you to review and edit your work, ensuring your narrative voice is front and center, right where it should be, without distraction or errors.

Utter words of power

​Once we've finalized the manuscript, it is time to invoke the passages! Our narration wizard, Daniel, will work with you to get the best voices for your story. Daniel is always happy to record it themself or hire the adventurers you need.

A cover fit for a

 If you want to hire an illustrator to beautify the cover of your book, we'll hire someone spectacular to make sure your cover has people in the marketplace stopping to peruse your stall.

 Once the work is complete, we'll put the files together in a carefully labeled folder and submit it to you to carry on to your next adventure!

Success! No mimic chest this time.

“Heather’s editing prowess was invaluable to me. I found Mrs. Ryder easy to work with and very attentive to details. She took the time to “get” where I was going with my novel and took it to a higher level. She was prompt and I highly recommend her."
