FAQ
Inkshares publishes books that hit a pre-order threshold of 750 copies. Readers pre-order books, and once this goal is reached, Inkshares assigns an editor, designer, and handles printing, distribution, and marketing.
If the project doesn't hit the 750 pre-order goal, readers are immediately refunded, and the project reverts to draft mode, keeping all followers.
Authors receive 35% of net receivables for every sale after the funding goal is reached. Royalties start accumulating after 750 pre-orders are sold, and funds up to that point are applied to production costs.
No, authors cannot pre-order their own book. Inkshares focuses on publishing books with demonstrated reader interest, and pre-orders are required to fund the publishing process.
Inkshares welcomes all genres, including sci-fi, fantasy, mystery, thriller, young adult, historical fiction, children’s books, memoirs, poetry, fiction, nonfiction, and biographies.
Inkshares partners with Ingram Publishing Services for distribution, making books available at Amazon, Apple, Barnes & Noble, and hundreds of independent bookstores. Marketing includes social media, email campaigns, and media outreach.
No, a complete manuscript is not required. Authors can start with an idea or draft to gather feedback and build a following before launching a pre-order campaign.
No, there is no service charge or fee to crowdfund a project on Inkshares. The platform only makes money when books sell.
