The self-publishing platform

Your book deserves more than a Word doc and a prayer

InkBound is the all-in-one publishing platform built for authors who want a beautiful, polished book — without the complexity, the ugly covers, or handing over half their royalties.

The current state of self-publishing is a mess

Amazon tax

Most platforms take 30-50% of every sale. You wrote the book. They take the money.

Ugly covers everywhere

Amateur design drives readers away. But hiring a designer costs £500+ before you've sold a single copy.

Scattered workflow

Word for writing. Canva for the cover. KDP for distribution. Stripe for payments. Not a publishing platform — a patchwork.

What InkBound does

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

01

AI-powered cover design

Generate professional book covers in seconds. Choose a genre, pick a mood, get a cover that looks like you hired a designer.

02

Direct reader sales

Sell directly to your audience. Keep 100% of every sale. No platform taking a cut. Your readers, your list, your business.

03

Print-on-demand

Physical books, no inventory. Every order printed and shipped on demand. Beautiful paper quality, competitive prices.

04

Distribution to major stores

Reach readers on Amazon, Apple Books, Kobo and more — from a single dashboard. Wide or exclusive, your choice.

05

Beautiful storefront

Your own author page with your bio, books, and reviews. A home base that converts readers into buyers.

06

Analytics that matter

Track sales, royalties, and reader engagement. Know what's working and what to write next.

How it works

From finished manuscript to published book in three steps

01

Upload your manuscript

Drop in a Word doc, PDF, or paste your text. InkBound handles the formatting — chapters, headers, page breaks — automatically.

02

Design your book

Choose your trim size, paper type, and cover. Use AI cover generation or upload your own design. Preview every page before you publish.

03

Publish and sell

Go live on your own storefront and major retailers simultaneously. Set your price, track your royalties, build your reader list.

"The best books aren't published by publishers. They're published by authors who refuse to wait for permission."

That's what InkBound is for. We believe publishing should be accessible, beautiful, and fair. No gatekeepers. No exclusivity traps. No guessing why your royalties are half what you expected.

Accessible
Beautiful
Fair

Your book is ready to exist.

Stop making excuses. Stop waiting for the perfect moment. Stop giving half your royalties to a platform that doesn't care about your success.

InkBound exists to get your words into the world — beautifully, affordably, and on your terms.
