Author Submissions

WHO WE ARE

Imagine Ink Studios is an independent intellectual property development studio with an integrated publishing and audio production division.


We originate, develop, and produce narrative properties across multiple formats — transforming stories into scalable creative assets that can expand across platforms, audiences, and markets.

​

  • Literary publishing

  • Performance-based audio production

  • Film and television development

  • Adaptation packaging and licensing

  • Global distribution opportunities

  • Long-term franchise expansion

​

We operate as a vertically integrated storytelling company — guiding select projects from manuscript to multi-platform development.
 

WHAT MAKES OUR MODEL DIFFERENT
Traditional publishing focuses on book sales.

Imagine Ink Studios focuses on intellectual property development.

Books are only the beginning of the lifecycle.

 

We evaluate each project for:

  • Narrative strength

  • Audience potential

  • Adaptation viability

  • World-building depth

  • Long-term scalability

  • Franchise expansion potential

  • Our goal is to develop stories that can live across mediums — not remain confined to a single format.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

​WHAT WE LOOK FOR
We accept a limited number of new projects each year.
We are highly selective and review submissions from writers who show exceptional talent, a clear creative voice, and meaningful progress on their manuscript.


We prioritize projects with:

  • Distinctive storytelling voice

  • Strong narrative structure

  • Clear audience positioning

  • Cinematic or visual potential

  • Expandable story worlds or series potential

  • Long-term creative vision

  • Authors committed to professional partnership

​

We welcome both emerging and established authors whose work demonstrates exceptional craft and development potential.
​​​​​

​WHAT YOU WILL NEED TO SUBMIT
To be considered, authors must provide:​

  • Complete publication-ready manuscript

  • Manuscript synopsis

  • First two chapters sample

  • Author biography

  • Project vision statement

  • Confirmation of rights ownership

  • Confirmation of publication readiness

​

Additional materials may be requested if a project advances to further review.

​

WHO SHOULD NOT SUBMIT
This submission process is not appropriate for:

 

  • Unfinished manuscripts

  • Early drafts requiring major development

  • Projects without clear rights ownership

  • Works already under active publishing or production contract

  • Authors seeking basic self-publishing assistance only
     

We are a development partner, not a general publishing service.


REVIEW PROCESS
Submissions are reviewed during designated intake periods. Due to submission volume, we cannot respond to every applicant individually unless a project advances to formal review. Selected authors will be contacted directly.​​​​​​​​​​

AS Timeline.png

Submission does not guarantee selection, representation, publication, or development. Project advancement depends on strategic fit, development readiness, and studio capacity.

​​​​

If your manuscript is complete, professionally prepared, and aligned with long-term intellectual property development — we invite you to submit for consideration.​​​​

​

Note: All terms are clearly defined through formal agreements only after project selection. Submission alone does not grant the studio any rights.
