Your Publishing Journey
Our authors have been featured in
A selective Canadian hybrid publisher for professionals who have something worth saying — and want a partner who takes the work seriously.
We evaluate every manuscript for commercial potential, editorial fit, and long-term impact. When we make an offer, we're prepared to back it fully.
Let’s Define Your Path Forward.
We work with authors at every stage. You bring your instincts and preferences.
And we bring our knowledge of the publishing marketplace and reader expectations.
When we make a publishing offer, it's because we see the commercial case clearly
and are prepared to back it with our full resources.
STEP 1
Book Your Discovery Call
A conversation, not an audition
We'll spend 30–45 minutes getting to know you and your book. We're evaluating concept, fit, platform, and whether this is a partnership that makes sense for both of us.
We're selective — and we expect you to be too.
This conversation helps us determine whether your project is a good fit for the Ingenium Books catalogue.
STEP 2
Editorial Review & Proposal
We do our homework before we make an offer.
If the discovery call goes well, we review your manuscript. This is where we assess the book's commercial potential, its editorial needs, and how it fits our publishing program.
If we decide to move forward, we prepare a full Proposal and Publishing Offer — a detailed document covering our editorial approach, production plan, investment structure, distribution strategy, and what we'd expect from each other from manuscript to market.
No vague commitments. A real offer, built specifically for your book.
Sidenote for Authors Without a Manuscript
Not quite ready with your manuscript? If you’re developing your book concept or exploring whether book doctoring or ghostwriting might help, we’re happy to talk through your options and help you understand the path ahead.
STEP 3
Contract & Onboarding
Once you've reviewed and signed the publishing agreement, we initiate onboarding: intake forms, team introductions, and your first editorial sessions. From signing, expect your book's release to be scheduled approximately 12–18 months out — the lead time required to do this properly.
What We Bring.
What You Bring
Ingenium brings: rigorous editorial standards, professional production, global distribution through 40,000+ retailers via Ingram, and a genuine investment in your success beyond launch day.
You bring: the manuscript, and a commitment to building your author platform. Readers care about you, not your publisher. We'll support your visibility — but you lead it.
Phase One: Editorial
Editorial Rigour is our Core Philosophy
Strong editing is the foundation of a successful book. Our approach is grounded, careful, and collaborative.
We help strengthen what’s already working and offer guidance on places that need more support or refinement.
Once your manuscript is certified by our Director of Editorial, we transition into the active production phase.
Phase Two: Production & Market Prep
This is where we transform your manuscript into a bookstore-ready asset, setting the stage for your Managed Marketing Launch.
1. Final Production & Design
2. Market Setup & Distribution
Phase Three: Your Managed Launch: Exceptional Support You Won’t Find Anywhere Else

“Working with Ingenium Books was fantastic, with truly knowledgeable staff who helped me shape my original outline into something that made the Wall Street Journal best-seller list! Wouldn't have been possible without them. Highly recommended.”

Strategic Lead Time:
The 12–18 Month Advantage
We don't rush books. The 12–18 month timeline from signing to launch exists because doing this properly takes time — and your readers will be able to tell the difference.
This strategic lead time is essential for success. It allows for the necessary depth and quality control across every stage:
We dedicate this time to ensuring your book is positioned for maximum impact in the marketplace.
