Ingenium Books Publishing
Empowering, enlightening, and enriching people’s lives by creating and publishing outstanding nonfiction that women love to write and read.
Breathing Life Into Ideas
We offer a powerful and empowering alternative to both the traditional publishing and self-publishing models: a partnership (hybrid) publishing approach. Ingenium Books' authors enjoy the best of both worlds: they are collaborative, entrepreneurial partners who benefit from professional publishing guidance, greater creative control, and a larger share of royalties than they'd get with traditional publishing. That, along with endorsements, pre-sales, distribution, launch, and sustaining marketing coaching, and ongoing project management — long after their book is published — make ours a highly desirable publishing approach.
Ingenium Guarantees
Authors we choose to work with trust us with their creative, emotional, brand, and brain power.
We earn that trust by living and breathing the Ingenium Guarantees.
Inspire With Integrity
We will not publish a book that is not up to your potential or to professional publishing standards. Sometimes our feedback may make you uncomfortable, but we'll always help you make your book better.
Our Best Advice
We will always give you our best advice to keep you aligned with your goals and objectives. In fact, your goals become our goals. We care about your book as much as you do. As partners, it's our book too.
Your Ideas
Your book will present your ideas, in your own words, and your own voice. Professional publishing standards and marketability are important, but we'll ensure those standards don't sanitize what makes you and your book special and unique.
Committed to Success
We will never publish it and forget it.
We consider marketing in all our processes because
we are as committed as you are to success for your book.
Belief
We will not waste your time — or ours — by accepting a manuscript that we do not believe has potential. If your manuscript is accepted into our nonfiction publishing program, it’s because we believe in it.
Our Purpose and Core Values
At Ingenium Books, we exist to breathe life into ideas. That's our purpose. We're also guided by a set of core values: the principles that shape what we do and how we behave. Every day.
Inspire With Integrity
We’ve spent a lifetime breathing life into ideas. Yours can be next. Our currency is the integrity to tell you whether your idea has merit, and the inspiration to get it done. Our content strategy work will shine a bright light on your goals and objectives and chart a clear path to success.
Create Lasting Relationships
Working together on a book project means spending a lot of time together. We get to know you, and you get to know us. Really well. Through the sheer ecstasy of accomplishing something worthy, together we build much more than a book. We build rewarding relationships that last long after the book is published.
Reflect. Respond. Re-energize.
Creative discovery means encountering the unexpected. When that happens, and it does, we reflect on what’s happened to get us to this point. We respond by taking steps to find the answers and adjust our course. And we re-energize the team so we’re all focused on the best way forward.
Passion for Creative Expression
Creative expression is the fuel to the fire in our soul. Preparing, perfecting, positioning and presenting your book to the world is, we believe, the ultimate creative exercise. Whether we're publishing journalistic or narrative nonfiction, memoir, autobiography, biography, business, or self-help: they’re all stories that matter. They all help create a better world. Yours, ours, and theirs.
