The Inky Phoenix Default

Our March Inky Phoenix pick is here: THE CAPITAL OF DREAMS by @oneillreads 

We are already huge fans of Heather O’Neill (WHEN WE LOST OUR HEADS was a 2022 pick), and her newest is just as vibrant, but like a gleaming knife, waiting to plunge.

THE CAPITAL OF DREAMS is a dark dystopian fairytale about an idyllic country ravaged by war—and a girl torn between safety and loyalty. Oh, and a talking goose. With an attitude.

A reminder that Inky x @bindery_books members get a 10% discount from @bluebicyclebooks (discount in our Discord feed). 

Stay tuned for our Zoom discussion TBA in April as well as amazing guest content from Heather!

And the March Inky Phoenix pick is …

They say it takes a village, but here at Inky Phoenix Press, we know it takes a coven to create magic. Our club has always celebrated inclusivity and magic in all forms, and we now invite you to help us bring new and exciting voices to life. If you’re called to celebrate storytelling and community, while elevating new and deserving authors, please join us on this beautiful journey of making magic real.

The Inky Phoenix

Kathryn Budig

During this phase, we're reviewing manuscripts and deciding which book we want to publish. At the end of this phase, we offer an author a book deal.

Consideration

As the manuscript goes through several phases of editorial work, the cover and interior design takes place, while format decisions about paper stocks and printing treatments are made.

Editorial & Design

While the books are on press, the pre-order links go live and the marketing campaign ramps up with waves of review copy mailings to media and influencers.

Pre-order

The finished copies have released on the book's publication date. Go give it some love!

The Inky Phoenix's picks and acquisitions are up-market speculative fiction with a focus on queer voices, and myth and magic that are rooted in history or reality.

My love for books runs deep. Bookstores were my favorite place to visit as a child, I received a double major in English Literature and Drama from the University of Virginia, and I went on to author *The Women's Health Big Book of Yoga* and *Aim True*. My most recent work was published in Zosia Mamet’s anthology, *My First Popsicle*, but my true loves have yet to meet the world — I too write fiction, and long to see it in published form. I co-host Free Cookies with my wife (and author!), Kate Fagan, where we banter and interview notables such as Madeline Miller, TJ Klune, George M. Johnson, and Emily St. John Mandel. Plus, we have the cutest rescue pup in the world: Ragnar Ashison.
