I regret hiring Inkwater Press to work on my novel. After online research, in 2020, I decided Inkwater would be the ideal company to polish my first book. Although their price was high for editing, formatting, and the cover work, I felt that the quality I would receive on my project would justify paying more for the best results. Unfortunately, by peer and public review, my novel was not edited well and many mistakes were missed. Linda also failed to inform me that its customary to add additional spacing between paragraphs when the scene changes within a chapter. Being that this was my first novel and being that I trusted her work, I ended up with a poor final version that cost me far more than it should have. They get two stars instead of one because they were professional and had good communication. I would not recommend Inkwater Press.

I have had only positive experiences with Inkwater and its marvelous staff. They really know what they are doing in the world of publishing and have led me through this new experience with flair! Inkwater is recommended to all authors.~Sharron Ann Sibley, Author of Men, Money & Gypsy Blood

A pleasure to work with. Professional, personal service.In my first meeting I told them I wanted to work with someone who loves me and my book and knows me when I call. They were all that and more. Thank you Inkwater for making my first book a reality. It has boosted my business and given me a level of credibility that can only be achieved by being a published author.

Excellent publisher to work with. Everyone thinks he/she can publish a book, but in reality this is far from the truth. The staff at Inkwater Press knows the publishing business and has respect in the industry. The services they offer are professional and high-quality. Their pricing is a bit higher than other hybrid-style publishers, but if youare investing in an endeavor rather than merely printing something you wrote, it is well worth it. Professional products and marketing are crucial in an era when anybody can toss a book up for sale on Amazon.

With regard to the services provided by Inkwater Press:A fine service for authors that is professional in every way. Inkwaterlives up to high standards in editing, design, and marketing. Authorswilling to provide some financial support to get their books on shelvescould not ask for more. Michael McCloskey rates: 5 stars

I have had the good fortune of having a book published through Inkwater Press and cannot say enough good things about this company. The staff is dedicated, creative, and professional. They helped create a truly beautiful book and Im grateful for all they have done!

The entire staff at Inkwater Press has been professional, gracious, helpful, and friendly. It has been over three years since I published my book with them and they have remained supportive and are always glad to hear from me. John has diligently kept me abreast of promotional opportunities and has provided feed back regarding how my book has faired with reviewers and competitions. Inkwater Press is a great organization all around; I feel lucky to have found them.

Inkwater Press published my first novel, The Monk Womans Daughter, and they made the process an enjoyable one. People at Inkwater are pleasant, capable, responsive, and professional. Several of them are published writers themselves--and they understand what authors need.

Inkwater Press published my latest three novels. At each stage of the publication process, the staff was thoroughly professional, honest and reliable. At times I felt as if my book was the only one on which they worked and the book they cared. Inkwater Press is a five-star publication because I can’t give it more than five.

Having discovered Inkwater Press in the University of Chicagos Alumni magazine, I expected, and found, a firm with the highest integrity. I am delighted to recommend them in all regards, with the creative talent to make the most beautiful book and the professional talent to help the book achieve success in the marketplace.

Inkwater exceeds all expectations! Their designer is a genius, their marketing is creative and effective, their editorial staff is talented and meticulous, and their administrative staff is efficient and incredibly helpful. You could not ask for better people or services.

Having seen the sloppiness elsewhere money can buy, Inkwater clearly sets itself apart. I am continuously impressed by the detail attention and vested interest they put into a writers work. Six out of five stars. Thanks to all at IWP!

Thank you to the wonderful people at Inkwater Press for their excellent services and professional standards. I highly recommend Inkwater Press from start to finish!

Local publisher, with experienced professionals who will guide you through the publishing process, from artwork and design to press releases and marketing. Wouldnt work with anyone else!

The top of their class professionals at Inkwater have helped me produce two consecutive award winning fiction novels. I cant imagine putting a book together without Sean, Masha, John and particularly Andrew.

The staff at Inkwater Press is professional and incredibly knowledgeable. As a first-time author, I couldnt have asked for a better team to get me through the publishing process.

Great Service, staff was accommodating and knowledgeable.
