Inked Margins Publishing — Stories worth leaving a mark

Indie Author Submission Guidelines

A Little Note from Trashlee:

Every submission is reviewed before it finds its place on our shelves! Please allow 24–48 hours for your submission to be reviewed. Once approved, your book will be added to our Community Bookshelf. Thank you for helping us support and celebrate fellow indie authors!

The 24–48-hour window is an estimated review timeframe, not a guarantee of approval or publication.

Before you submit

Submit one already-published book at a time, using your public pen name, a short author bio, genre, audience/age range, series information if applicable, and a general-audience book description. Include a public author or retailer link.

Only submit work you own or are authorized to represent. Do not send manuscript files, explicit excerpts, passwords, or private contact details in fields intended for public display.

What happens next

Every entry stays private and pending manual review. Approved public information is added manually to the Community Bookshelf. Private email addresses are used for administration and are never part of public listings.

Submitting is free and does not guarantee a listing or monthly spotlight. Authors selected for a spotlight cannot be selected again within 12 months.

Submitting your book here is for consideration for free promotional features only. Inked Margins Publishing does not accept manuscripts or outside authors for publication. Submission does not guarantee placement or a feature.
