Our Story

Built in New York.
Trusted worldwide.

Ink Words Publishing began with a simple belief: great books should not depend on gatekeepers. From our New York studio, we pair authors with in-house writers, editors, and designers who treat every manuscript like a legacy in the making.

Today we support authors across dozens of countries from first-time memoirists to seasoned experts with transparent packages, milestone approvals, and 100% ownership of their work.

"Your story deserves to be published with care."

What Guides Us

Mission, vision & promise

Our Mission

To give every author — regardless of background or experience — access to world-class publishing resources, so their stories reach readers who need them.

Our Vision

A literary world where quality craftsmanship matters more than gatekeeping, and where authors own every word they publish.

Our Promise

Transparent pricing, honest timelines, and a partnership built on respect. You keep your rights. You approve every stage. We never disappear after launch.

Our Values

Principles we never compromise

These values shape every manuscript, every cover, and every launch we deliver.

Craft Over Volume

We take on fewer projects so each manuscript receives the attention it deserves — never rushed, never templated.

Author Ownership

You retain 100% of your rights, royalties, and creative control. We work for you, not the other way around.

Design Excellence

Covers and interiors that compete with major publishers — because first impressions determine whether a book gets opened.

Global Distribution

Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Apple Books, Kobo, Ingram, and independent bookstores worldwide.

Launch Support

Publishing is only the beginning. We help you build an audience, brand, and long-term readership.

Integrity

No hidden fees, no bait-and-switch packages, no pressure. What we quote is what you pay.
