This is not a mass-production model. This is intentional publishing for authors building something real.

Self-Publishing Information & Tips

What Makes Fractured Ink Press Different?

Most fiction authors are forced into one of two bad choices:
Do everything yourself, or give up control to someone else.

Fractured Ink Press exists because neither option works for serious authors.

• We do not rush books to market
• We do not publish everything submitted
• We do not upsell unnecessary services
• We do not separate publishing from reader trust

Every project is treated like a long-term asset, not a quick release.

Series Authors Welcome

Writing a series changes everything.

We support authors who are:

• Planning multi-book arcs
• Publishing connected worlds
• Managing continuity and reader expectations
• Building long-term discoverability

Series strategy is considered early, not after book one is already live.

You Stay In Control

With Fractured Ink Press:

• You approve all major decisions • You keep your IP and rights
• You choose pacing and timelines
• You understand exactly what you’re paying for

No surprises. No rights grabs. No “trust us” contracts.

Our Role

Think of us as your publishing partner, not your publisher of record.

We bring structure, experience, and execution so you can focus on writing without guessing your way through the rest.

Support

Strategic, long-term publishing support. We don’t just publish your book and walk away. We help you position it for maximum impact.

Is this the right fit?

Fractured Ink Press is a strong fit if:

• You want professional standards
• You value collaboration over shortcuts
• You’re building an author career, or desire the one book to have the best chance at gaining sales

It may not be a fit if:

• You want instant publication with minimal revision – that doesn’t benefit your long-term sales
• You want someone else to own the process entirely – we can help you do almost everything, except write
• You are looking for a traditional “advance” model – there’s reasons those don’t work (check out our blog articles)

Start with a conversation, not a contract.

Not sure you’re ready?

Our publisher is happy to speak with you directly to answer questions and help you explore options and ideas.

We Make Publishing Make Sense for Authors

Publishing shouldn’t feel like a secret club with gatekeepers at every turn. And it definitely shouldn’t feel like you need a second career just to figure it out.

At Fractured Ink Press, we bring decades of real publishing experience to entrepreneurs like you — combining industry know-how with marketing strategy, business clarity, and a no-BS approach that cuts through the noise.

Whether you’re still writing, stuck in the weeds, or ready to launch, we’re your partner in making this book happen — the right way.

What Makes Us Different

We don’t do bloated packages or empty promises. We offer honest, expert support tailored to your goals — and you keep full ownership, always.

We’ve actually worked in publishing. Our founder, Vicky Wu, has over 15 years in the publishing world and 30+ years in high-level marketing. She’s led teams inside billion-dollar companies, coached thousands of entrepreneurs, and knows how to turn your book into a business asset.

We publish with purpose. No cookie-cutter templates. No generic launch strategies. Everything we create is aligned with your brand, your audience, and your goals.

Who We're For

You’re:
·A budding storyteller with ideas worth telling
· Overwhelmed by the publishing options — or burned by bad ones

We see you. You’ve done the hard work. Now it’s time to finish the book and get it into the world — without handing over your rights or losing your mind.

Our Promise

We’ll never talk down to you, oversell you, or leave you wondering what’s next. We’ll give you: Strategic guidance (not generic advice) A streamlined process you can actually follow

A publishing partner who’s in it with you
