Ink Smith Publishing is a small, female-owned, independent publishing house based in New Jersey. Established in 2012, Ink Smith Publishing focuses on fiction novels with special interest in fantasy, new adult, horror, and contemporary fiction.

At Ink Smith Publishing, we publishes anywhere between one and ten books per year. We aim to publish novels that whisk readers away into fantastical worlds, chill their blood, and provide an escape from the mundane. In particular, we are looking for genre mashups—novels that can straddle multiple genres: science-fiction and murder, fantasy and social justice, romance and galactic space-odyssey. Ink Smith Publishing wants our readers to be transported to worlds that inspire them.

Prospective authors, if you’ve visited us in the past, please make sure to check out the updated Submission Guidelines. We hope you find your favorite world to disappear into within the titles we publish.
