Welcome to our June Newsletter --- hitting your inbox a little earlier than traditional, but we could not wait to share with you the exciting behind the scenes things happening here at Interleaf Ink!
Reader Agreement Streamline
Our first new initiative is streamlining our reader agreement process. We’re considering this pivot to make the sign-up process easier and less repetitive for readers. A general reader contract would cover our standard confidentiality, copyright, and sharing rules, while each book would only need a short sign-up confirming your interest and review timeline. This would help us keep expectations clear without asking readers to complete a full contract every time.
Would you prefer one general reader contract, plus short book sign-ups, or a separate contract for each book?
Current process: long agreement for each book
New process: Initial intake + short reader sign up agreement
Upcoming Vendor Events
Our next vendor event is coming up on June 13 from 5–8 PM at the Ink Stained Book Fair at PrettyBad Studios in Magnolia, TX!
Join us for an edgy bookish night where stories and ink collide, featuring local author signings, food trucks, vendors, photo spots, and flash tattoos. General admission is free, with VIP tickets available for early tattoo RSVP, a book bag, vendor goodies, discounts, and more.
Come swing by the Interleaf Ink booth!
We’ll be giving away stickers to readers, and authors can pick up a discount token for their next service or for an author in their life.
Tickets and VIP passes are available here:https://www.thebookishrealtor.com/event-tickets/p/ink-stained-book-fair
And for the reason we are all here: The Books!
CURRENT ARC: Don Suttajit's Tidy Less, Live More
Why does the clutter keep coming back no matter how many times you clean, organize, or start over?
Because clutter isn’t just about stuff. It’s about identity.
In Tidy Less, Live More, Don Suttajit offers a transformative approach to decluttering that goes far beyond storage bins, organizing hacks, and surface-level routines. Instead of asking, “How do I clean my home?” this book asks a deeper question: Who is the person behind the mess?
Blending psychology, self-discovery, and practical organization, this book explores how your beliefs, emotional attachments, habits, roles, and sense of self quietly shape your environment. Your home is not separate from you. It reflects you.
Through reflective exercises, powerful insights, and actionable strategies, you’ll learn how to:
Break free from the exhausting cycle of mess and reset
Understand the emotional and identity-based roots of clutter
Let go of the versions of yourself you’ve outgrown
Design spaces that support the person you want to become
Build systems and routines that feel natural to maintain
Create a home and life that feel peaceful, intentional, and freeing
This isn’t about becoming more disciplined or perfectly organized. It’s about becoming aligned.
When your identity shifts, your space follows. And when your space reflects who you truly are, you stop constantly managing clutter and start living with intention.
You don’t need to tidy more. You need to become someone who needs less tidying.
BETA OPENING JUNE 14, 2026: Amy W. Vogel's Bejeweled: Jezebel's Story
For generations, the name Jezebel has been reduced to a warning: seductress, manipulator, enemy.
But history rarely tells the stories of the women changed by her.
In Bejeweled, three lives collide in the shadow of a queen who refuses to bow and force each woman to reclaim her own story.
Oriah — a young girl on the edge of womanhood watches from the margins, absorbing the quiet rules meant to keep her small… until learning of Jezebel’s defiance ignites something she cannot ignore.
Jezebel — newly crowned and already marked as dangerous must navigate a kingdom where power is dictated by fear, and a woman who leads is seen as a threat to be destroyed.
Duna — an older woman shaped by survival and sacrifice has spent her life navigating the cost of obedience. But her perceived proximity to the queen begins to unravel everything she thought she believed as she mentors Oriah in ancient ways.
As political tension rises and faith becomes a weapon, each woman must confront the same question:
Who are you at your core when the world demands your silence?
Bejeweled is a sweeping story of transformation, rebellion, feminine awakening, and legacy—where destiny is not inherited, but chosen.
