    To pitch your book idea or send a query about writing services, please submit your query with the “Pitch Your Idea” link. (Our editorial team is also happy to discuss marketing services that could be a good fit for you.)

    To query our marketing team only, please follow the “Check Marketing Availability” link. Please note that our marketing services are currently only available to clients who are working with us to launch a creative project.

  • Our services are customized to support each project’s specific needs—we don’t offer one-size-fits-all packages. We follow a pay-as-you-go plan that allows authors, businesses, thought leaders, and nonprofits the flexibility to progress with projects at a pace that makes sense for them.

    We work with professional writers, editors, designers, illustrators, project managers, proofreaders, and printers with experience in trade publishing. Championing the expertise of literary professionals in an indie model is central to our business. Most of our publishing packages start at $8,000. We have successfully supported authors in creatively financing their projects through crowdfunding or private partnerships.

  • When pitching your book idea or writing project, keep in mind the following:

    • Wise Ink Media has the most experience working with nonprofits, businesses, thought leaders, activists, and writers working to achieve social good. Most of our clients want to tell the story of where they’ve been, where they are now, and their vision for the future of their sectors.

    • We mostly publish adult nonfiction (memoirs, self-help, business, coffee table books, history, cookbooks, guided journals, etc.) and children’s fiction and nonfiction (middle-grade chapter books, picture books, YA, etc.). We also partner with businesses and nonprofits to publish anthologies and organizational histories.

    • We tend to not be the best fit for poets and novelists writing for adults.

    • In your query, it is helpful to describe how far along you are with your writing (a complete first draft vs just an idea) and any ideas you have to market your work. Comparative title research and an audience analysis is also helpful in determining how Wise Ink might be able to help.
