• The Changeling

    Titian, a Changeling, has created a decent life for herself in the Borderlands, far away from the Fae. When Basil, her savior turned enemy, returns to force her into the Faerie Heir Trials, Titian discovers that, while her isolation has kept her safe, things are only growing worse for others like her. Changelings are being hunted and killed–simply for being what they are. The only way to change that is for Titian to compete in the Trials, win, and become the Faerie Queen. Can she overcome her hatred of the Fae long enough to win the competition, or will she become distracted by the broody and handsome Jasper?

  • wild thing

    We love to hate feral women. We say they’re too much of everything, not-so-subtly requesting that they minimize themselves, their voices, their existence. Rather than uplifting the characteristics that make them fierce and loyal protectors, we push them into the smallest of roles. Instead of watching in awe as they tackle the most difficult aspects of life, we ignore them. When faced with the harsh truths of their lives, we silence them.

    I am done being silenced. I am done being ignored. I want to live my truths.

    wild thing is an exploration of the feral nature of human beings, revealing vulnerability, heartache, confidence, and ultimately, what it’s like to be a female-presenting human doing what they need to in order to survive.

  • Wickedness & Wonder: A Fairy Tale Anthology

    What happens after the magical kiss, the spells dissipate, and the initial excitement of the promised happy ending? Is there truly a forever filled with rainbows and beauty and perfect, starry nights? Or might there be another, darker, more mysterious undercurrent that's worth continuing? Could there be something still lurking in the shadows? Is magic still weaving its way into the souls of the fairy tale denizens?

    Wickedness & Wonder is a collection of poetry and short fiction exploring classic fairy tales in new (and perhaps unsettling) ways. We invite you into these unique worlds, rhythms, and stories, hoping you'll stay with us as long as you like. Perhaps it might be best to leave a trail of breadcrumbs, however.

    We cannot ensure your well-being.

    Uncensored Ink: A Banned Book Inspired Anthology

    For authoritarians and their supporters, book banning is the floor. They've yet to define the ceiling.What other forms of creative expression will be next on their hit list: music, theater, paintings, sculpture? When we lose our intellectual freedom, we lose our democracy.

    This collection of short stories, poetry, flash fiction, and essays highlights everything that is beautiful in the written word. Through this body of work, Wild Ink Publishing is taking a stand against book banning. We invite you to stand with us.

  • The Carnation Collection

    Hekate, the Goddess of Magic, has called all heroes and heroines with a pen.

    In the ancient age, a carnation with petals of rich color was found in Greece. The botanist who discovered it was so taken with it that he called it Dianthus—The Flower of the Gods. The flower of the divine.

    In the modern age, an old temple has been found deep in the wilds of Greece. The only one of its kind. It holds a sacred text blessed and protected by the seven goddesses: Hera, Hestia, Demeter, Athena, Artemis, Persephone, and Aphrodite. Within this text are poems, essays, and short stories of divinity.

    It is called The Carnation Collection.

    The authors who contributed were asked one question: Who are you?
    They have shared their inner hearts, their inner worlds. They have shared the song their souls sing, beyond all doubt, insecurity, or judgment. And they have entrusted their sacred truth with a goddess of their choosing.

    It is well-known that these goddesses are incredibly human in their divinity. However, they also know that you are incredibly divine in your humanity. They have loved, just as you have loved. They have grieved, just as you have grieved. So, they offer the carnation as a promise:

    Your truth is safe with us.
