Our Beginning:
Forged in Uncertainty, Defined by Purpose
In the quiet uncertainty of 2020, the world paused. Bookstores shuttered, literary festivals were canceled, and the timeless community of readers and writers felt more fractured than ever. Yet, in that stillness, a question grew louder: What happens to stories when the world stands still?
We refused to let them be silenced.
INPress International was born from that defiant hope. We were a small team of publishing veterans, connecting over shaky Zoom calls not just as colleagues, but as concerned book lovers. We saw a system under strain and authors feeling more isolated than ever. The "gap in the market" wasn't just commercial; it was emotional.
We asked a different question: Could we build a publishing house that wasn't just a business, but a community? One that was agile enough to thrive in a new era and steadfast enough to be a true partner to authors when they needed it most?
Our founding principle became our rallying cry: to be relentlessly author-centric. This wasn't a buzzword; it was our necessity. It meant:
-
Forging strong editorial relationships built on transparency and shared vision, not just transactions.
-
Pioneering innovative, digital-first marketing to ensure powerful stories find their readers, anywhere in the world.
-
Creating a global literary community from the ground up, proving that connection doesn't require a physical room.
We chose our name, INPress International, as a declaration of this ambition. "INPress" signifies our deep, collaborative work with authors to bring their vision to life on the page. "International" reflects our conviction from day one: that profound stories know no borders. We are dedicated to elevating diverse, powerful voices onto a global stage.
That initial spirit—forged in challenge, focused on connection—remains our compass. Every book we publish is a testament to the belief that started it all: even when the world changes, our need for meaningful stories endures.
We are INPress International. Our story begins with yours.
