Vehemently Inked

Vehemently Inked is an independent publishing studio for experimental fiction
and narrative systems—projects that bend form, play with perspective, and still
take the craft seriously.

What we do

Publishing, distribution, and author support.

We work with a small list of titles at any given time. The focus is depth,
not scale: making sure each project is edited, produced, and positioned with care.

Editorial & production

Build the book, not just the file.

Developmental work, line editing, and structural design for stories that
push limits without losing readability—chapter architecture, pacing, and
typography tuned to the work.

Distribution

Placement where it counts.

Digital and print distribution into major channels, including Amazon,
Ingram, Kobo, Apple Books, and libraries, with metadata configured for
discoverability instead of generic boilerplate.

Author support

Systems for strange books.

Launch planning, positioning, and ongoing support designed for work that
doesn’t fit a single shelf—so authors don’t have to choose between being
readable and being interesting.

Catalog

Titles from Vehemently Inked.

A focused catalog by design. Each title is selected for the way it handles
form, voice, and reader experience—not just for fitting a category.

For authors

Working with Vehemently Inked.

We are a small studio and selective by design. When we are open to queries,
we look for clear intent, strong language, and a sense that the project knows
what it wants to do to a reader.

Focus

Experimental, but deliberate.

Primarily literary, speculative, and hybrid work that plays with structure,
perspective, or voice. Projects where the “weird” is in service of something
precise, not just chaos.

When open

What to send.

A one-page overview, the first 20 pages, and a short note about what you
think the book is doing formally. Include current word count and status
(draft, revised, line-edited).

Status

Submission windows.

Submission windows and instructions are posted here. If this section notes
that submissions are closed, please wait for the next window rather than
sending material cold.
