Message from the Chief Editor

Warren H. Lau

Dear Readers,

I’ve always believed that the most powerful conversations happen in the quiet space between an author’s words and a reader’s imagination. My entire career has been dedicated to curating that space—blending decades of editorial expertise in literary publishing, finance nonfiction, and creative content curation to champion voices that matter, and stories that resonate.

When the world retreated indoors in 2020, that quiet space became more vital than ever. It was in that moment of collective pause that INPress International was born—not just as a business, but as a promise. A promise to authors that their voices would be heard, and a promise to readers that we would deliver stories worthy of their time and trust. That promise is the heart of my editorial philosophy, and the foundation of everything we do at INPress.

Chief Editor, INPress International

My role is not just to assess manuscripts, but to listen for that spark—the unique voice, the unforgettable character, the idea that challenges and changes you. I lead a team of editors who are as passionate as I am about the sacred act of collaboration. We don't just acquire books; we adopt visions and work hand-in-hand with authors to refine their raw brilliance into its most powerful form. For us, "meeting the highest standards" means more than flawless grammar (though we are meticulous about that, too!). It means ensuring every book we champion is authentic, thought-provoking, and emotionally resonant—whether it’s a finance guide that demystifies investing for everyday readers, a poetry collection that weaves heritage and heart, a self-help book that empowers growth, or our upcoming literary fiction novels that transport and connect.

Our Editorial Vision

At INPress International, our editorial vision is rooted in three unshakable principles: curate with purpose, publish with heart, and elevate diverse voices. We believe publishing should be a bridge—between authors and global readers, between knowledge and curiosity, between tradition and modernity. For our finance list, this means actionable, jargon-free content written by industry experts with real-world experience, designed to empower readers to take control of their financial journeys. For our poetry collection, it means centering cultural roots, spiritual resonance, and unfiltered emotion—from Himalayan-inspired verse to contemporary English poetry that honors heritage and reimagines storytelling. For our self-help titles, it means practical, compassionate guides that meet readers where they are, with insights that drive genuine growth and connection. And as we expand into literary fiction in 2026, our vision remains the same: to publish stories that reflect the world we live in—diverse, complex, and full of hope—stories that foster empathy and spark the conversations that bind us together. Above all, our editorial vision is author-centric: we stand with our writers at every step, from manuscript to shelf, because we know that great books are born from great partnerships.

So, whether you are a writer looking for a true publishing partner or a reader in search of your next great adventure, know that behind every INPress International book is a team that cares deeply about the power of story. We are here for the authors who dare to share their vision and the readers who welcome it—for the quiet conversations, the transformative moments, and the stories that stay with you long after the final page.

Thank you for being part of our story.

Warmly,

Warren H. Lau
