Stories worth leaving a mark.
Different stories. Different voices. One home.
Inked Margins Publishing is an independently operated publishing venture built around a love for storytelling, creativity, and books that leave a lasting impression.
From emotionally honest young adult fiction and heartfelt contemporary romance to psychological thrillers and bold adult stories, IMP brings distinctive voices, unforgettable characters, and a variety of genres together under one publishing home.
And because creativity doesn’t end with the final chapter, ShorTee Creates brings coloring books, activity books, and imaginative printables into the mix.
Whether you’re looking for your next unforgettable read, a cozy creative escape, or a new indie author to discover, there’s a place for you here.
Indie authors supporting indie authors
Publishing a book is an accomplishment. Getting that book into readers’ hands can be an entirely different challenge.
At IMP, we believe supporting another indie author’s success doesn’t take anything away from our own.
That’s why we created The Indie Author Corner — a completely free space dedicated to celebrating independently published books, connecting readers with new voices, and helping fellow indie authors gain visibility.
Authors can share their published books for consideration on our Community Bookshelf and participate in opportunities such as our monthly Indie Author Spotlights.
Our goal is simple: help good stories find more readers.
A note about publishing submissions
Inked Margins Publishing is not accepting manuscripts, author applications, or submissions for publication, and we have no plans to open for outside publishing submissions.
The Indie Author Corner is a free promotional and discovery opportunity for independently published authors. Participation does not constitute a publishing agreement, representation, editorial service, or an offer to publish a book.
Meet Trashlee
Every good bookstore needs a little personality, and ours comes with a caffeine habit, an ever-growing book obsession, and a questionable ability to keep the shelves organized.
Meet Trashlee, IMP’s cozy, slightly chaotic raccoon mascot.
Part librarian, part treasure hunter, and perpetually convinced there’s room for just one more book, Trashlee brings a little mischief and a whole lot of bookish charm to Inked Margins Publishing.
Same trash. More books.
