I am delighted to have the opportunity to share a little about my newest publishing house: InkSpell Publishing. Young, upbeat, positive and super speedy – InkSpell is making huge progress on the digital and print frontier. When I asked them to share their story – they did. And now I get to share with you. Attention burgeoning authors, sit back and take notes…
Me: How did the idea for InkSpell come about?
InkSpell: It was the need to provide quality publisher services to author. I have personally been through two harrowing experience with small publishing press and I wanted to ensure that others do not face the same treatment. It was late at night when I decided it was time to bring InkSpell Publishing LLC to the world. 
Me: What kind of books does InkSpell publish? What does InkSpell Publishing NOT publish?
InkSpell: We publish mainly romance, the sweet kind and fantasy. We do not publish inspirational, or erotic romance as we are not yet ready for the high volumes that comes with it.
Me: Is there a specific genre you’re actively searching for right now?
InkSpell: Right now, we have a Sweet Romance submission call. We are looking for holiday themed, preferably contemporary romance. Here is the link to the submission call.
Me: With the move to e-publishing, why is InkSpell going to offer print versions of their books?
InkSpell: Because 80% sales still come from print books and because we do not believe in a world without print books. Not yet. We feel the emotional attachment to a print books deeply and also want to keep the tradition of reading a book in hand, feeling the paper, alive. Sure e-publishing is cheaper , easier and faster and we love it for that. But nothing matches the thrill of holding a book in your own hands. Our authors are very excited about it and in fact, this is a service we are proud to provide to our authors in spite of being so new in the market.
Me: How often does InkSpell plan to release their books?
InkSpell: We have a schedule of 20 books this year averaging 2 releases a month. We believe in giving equal amount of time and energy to each book so that it receives the best care. We plan to increase the title releases as we roll in to the next year as I am hoping our staff would increase.
Me: What do you see in InkSpell’s future? What words would you use to describe how InkSpell was viewed by readers and writers?
InkSpell: Our vision is:Quality every page, excellence every book.
That’s what I see in Inkspell’s future – high quality books. Everything else would follow. And it is our mission to enchant readers with spell-binding romance and fantasy fiction while providing fair service to authors.
I think we have stood up to our tag line “be enchanted” as of today. Our books are hopelessly romantic and unique in their content while the book covers attract immediate attention.
Me: What releases are coming soon from InkSpell?
InkSpell: We have a long list of books starting march through july as of now. Here is the link to our upcoming releases. We just released our first book, Always You on March 6th which is receving some warm response by readers. Our next release is Truly, Madly, Deeply, You by Cecilia Robert. We have our first paranormal release, Shadow of Witte Wieven by Debbie Peterson, author of Spirit of Rebellion on 21st April. Exciting times!

Me: Where can readers by InkSpell books?
InkSpell: Readers can buy InkSpell books at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, All Romance ebooks, 1placefor romance and coffee time romance. We are continuously expanding our online retail store reach.
