Nick Carraway like you’ve never seen him before: 

“You know, Nick. Being a spy—” She paused. That word sounded juvenile and unscrupulous in a way that unnerved me. “Working in intelligence, I mean, and being an entertainer—oh, they’re not so different from each other. You have to get to know a person. Assets, offshore accounts. That’s the easy stuff. But . . . what wine a person likes, where they vacation, their most tender memories, or private proclivities,” she murmured. “Their weaknesses. People think it’s all about sweet talk, but really, that won’t get you far. It’s not about how well you can speak, but how well you can listen. That’s why you came to mind.”

They say it takes a village, but here at Inky Phoenix Press, we know it takes a coven to create magic.

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.

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!

Published

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-hosted the podcast Free Cookies where we bantered and interviewed notables such as Madeline Miller, TJ Klune, George M. Johnson, and Emily St. John Mandel. Plus, I have the cutest rescue pup in the world: Ragnar Ashison.
