You write. You publish.
Inkwren keeps it all together.
Submissions, launches, contracts, deadlines—the moving pieces behind a writing career or a small press. Inkwren brings them into one place, so nothing slips while you do the work that matters.
A look inside Inkwren.
Your day at a glance
Deadlines, tasks, recent publications, and stats—all on one dashboard. Customize your widgets to see what matters most.
Plan launches and promotions

Author and publisher both? One Publisher subscription covers it—keep your own writing in one workspace and run your press in another, all under a single account.
Right now, you’re the glue.
Submissions in a spreadsheet. Deadlines on a calendar. Contracts in your inbox. The next launch on sticky notes. Every piece of your writing—or your press—in a different place, and the only thing holding it together is you, remembering to check.
That works right up until it doesn’t: a deadline missed, a submission you forgot was still out, a contract you can’t find.
Inkwren is the one place it all lives—connected and current, so nothing rides on you remembering.
Why Inkwren
Built for the work behind the writing and the publishing.
Both sides of the desk
Most tools pick a side—authors or publishers. Inkwren serves both, and works whether you’re doing one, the other, or running a press while writing your own books.
Inkwren understands publishing
Slush piles. Calls for submissions. The difference between a reprint and a first publication. Generic project tools don’t get these—Inkwren was built for them.
All the moving pieces, in one place
Inkwren keeps track of submissions, launches, contracts, and the tasks behind every one. It doesn’t write your book or run your ad campaigns—that’s not its job.
