Quilled Ink Press opened its doors in December 2020, the year of the pandemic, though the desire to do so was bubbling in the background for many years.

​

Please kindly note, we are an independent small press with a traditional approach to book publishing - we do not charge for publishing your work. We prefer poetry collections (with a minimum of forty-five poems), children's books, short story collections, and novels of any genre. We are highly selective and favor work that is impactful, deep, contemplative, and written from the heart and soul.

​

For independent authors, we offer book editing services, book cover design services, and book formatting services.

We are also home to The Quilled Ink Review, a biennial literary journal showcasing poetry and prose. We encourage you to follow our social media to keep abreast of open submission periods and current themes.
