Our Origin Story

What do you get when you take a stay-at-home mom earning a graphic design degree, and mix an almost ridiculous level of adoration for books, compulsive creativity, and an insatiable passion to help authors? Inkish Creatives was born of a collision of these things.

What we do

Inkish Creatives is about taking what we do best, and making what you do best shine. From the look of the book to getting it seen, we focus on taking your vision and reaching readers it was meant for. We also work with promoting your author brand to keep momentum and grow a community. It is estimated that there are over 160 to 170 million individual book titles in the world as of 2026, with another estimated 2.2 million books to be published every year. With so many books for readers to choose from and more added every year, it can be hard to even be seen, much less get your work into the hands of the right audience. Our goal is to partner with you and use our skills to help you succeed as an author and stand out in an oversaturated market.

Why we do it

Books, creativity, and imagination have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I already had an idea of working in the book business, and when my two older sisters embarked on their own author journeys, the idea evolved into a driving passion. My graphic design education, as well as my internship with a traditional publisher, gave me a solid framework that I continued to build on until Inkish Creatives was born. Your dream as an author is to hold your book, beautiful, printed out and in your hands, and my dream is to be part of what makes that happen.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Start with what service you want, what type of project it is, details (format, names, color palette, included info, ect.) and any personal preference. Make sure to also include more technical details like the timeline for the project, its format, and measurements for anything to be printed. Just give me what you’ve got and we will figure out the rest during the consultation.

    We love mood boards , reference images, and playlists!

  • The cost of services will be calculated depending on project type and complexity. Additions or subtractions to a project after the finalized quote will be determined on a case by case basis.

    A deposit will be required when booking the consultation , and the fee will be applied toward the final payment of the project as part of the final quote. It will not be refunded for cancelations or rescheduling within 48 hours of the appointment or after.

  • Yes we do! Each project will include 2 free revisions. Further changes may be an additional charge on a case by case basis.

  • I have experience with a wide variety of visuals and am happy to include any content you would like to bring into the process. My requirement is just that anything added into the project legally belongs to you.

    Outside sourced content will require a signed form acknowledging that it belongs to you and that you release said content to us to use for purposes listed in the contract.

  • In my work process, AI will only be used in select circumstances and only as a tool through commercially safe platforms. Examples would be extending a photo background, minor adjustments, prompting several images of difficult and unnatural subjects to use for art reference, or running a check on text for spelling and grammar. I will include no further AI use in my work, even by request.

    If you are not comfortable with any AI, please make sure to let us know. We will include your request against any usage as part of the contract.

  • Any work I do for you will be signed over to you as soon as you complete your final payment.

    A signed release form will be required for any use of the project as reference of completed work or release of images to a third party for any reason.

  • In general, I am open to most styles, genres, and projects. That being said, I will not take request for exclusive AI work or any works mimicking/copying others. Additionally, I do not accept projects to craft explicit content, nor any hateful or derogatory ones.

    As a matter of personal preference, I will refuse any projects relating to criticism, denouncements, politics, or celebration of real life cruelty.

  • While I do not have anything against premade visuals, the concept of ready-made simply does not fit with the work Inkish Creatives does. Our goal is to work with authors to craft targeted and unique visuals. We believe that giving "voice” to your work is essential to an author’s success, and the level of detail required for that is simply not something we feel is achievable by premade covers.

    We will craft templates, however those will be more of a guide and tool meant to aid. They will not be made as a completed visual product. Detailed “drag and drop” templates will only be a custom design as part of branding/marketing.

  • We do not provide printing or physical merchandise services. If you would like help, we are happy to include/add a product consultation in your quote or to refer you to some of our industry contacts.
