Publish with Us

Traditional Independent publishing combines the prestige and professional quality of traditional publishing with the flexibility and personalized approach of smaller presses. Authors benefit from access to professional editing, design, and marketing resources, ensuring their work meets IBPA’s highest industry standards. 

Unlike large traditional publishers, Inked Elephant offers a hands-on, collaborative experience, allowing authors to build strong relationships and maintain a distinct voice in their work. Additionally, Inked Elephant is proud to take creative risks and support underrepresented writers including women, BIPOC, and LGBTQ+ communities. 

While we do not offer advances, manuscripts accepted by Inked Elephants Traditional Publishing Division garner higher royalties and a quicker time-to-market than large traditional publishing houses and can be queried directly without the assistance of an agent. 

To be considered, please submit your query letter, book proposal and sample chapter to editor@inkedelephant.org.
