Home Publishing Plans
Choose the Publishing Support That Fits Your Journey.
Every author begins from a different place. Some have a completed manuscript and need professional publishing support. Others need guidance throughout development, editing, design, production, and distribution. At InkTide, our publishing plans are designed around different author needs, experience levels, and publishing goals.
Your book remains yours.
Your rights. Your voice. Your royalties.
