  • Our services are customized to support each project’s specific needs. We start the project with an initial deposit covering your LCCN, ISBN, project management, and 1:1 marketing sessions that are included in your selected package. Following the deposit, we bill in equal monthly installments until the full package is paid. Printing and additional, optional marketing services are billed separately. That allows authors, businesses, thought leaders, and nonprofits transparent and predictable pricing so they can focus on bringing their vision to life.

    We work with professional writers, editors, designers, illustrators, project managers, proofreaders, and printers with experience in trade publishing. Championing the expertise of literary professionals in an indie model is central to our business. A package for our typical book starts at $15,000.

    We have successfully supported authors in creatively financing their projects through crowdfunded pre-order campaigns, grants, or private partnerships. Get in touch with us for the most accurate quote based on the scope of your project.

  • When pitching your book idea or writing project, keep in mind the following:

    • Wise Ink Media has the most experience working with nonprofits, businesses, thought leaders, activists, and writers working to achieve social good. Most of our clients want to tell the story of where they’ve been, where they are now, and their vision for the future of their sectors.

    • We mostly publish adult nonfiction (memoirs, self-help, business, coffee table books, history, cookbooks, guided journals, etc.) and children’s fiction and nonfiction (middle-grade chapter books, picture books, YA, etc.). We also partner with businesses and nonprofits to publish anthologies and organizational histories.

    • We tend to not be the best fit for poets and novelists writing for adults.

    • In your query, it is helpful to describe how far along you are with your writing (a complete first draft vs just an idea) and any ideas you have to market your work. Comparative title research and an audience analysis is also helpful in determining how Wise Ink might be able to help.
