01 · Community Updates
We've been busy behind the scenes at Interleaf Ink, and we're excited to share some of the wonderful things happening in our growing bookish community!
From bringing creative visions to life to building new partnerships, we're continuing to find new ways to connect authors, readers, and the people who help bring stories into the world.
Two New Websites, Two Wonderful Bookish Businesses!
We've recently had the pleasure of designing and building websites for two incredible members of our bookish community!
First up is Dalton Pratt, a gothic horror and romance author whose new website gives readers a place to explore his books, merchandise, and creative world.
We also worked with Sam of The Trashy Raccoon, a bookish vendor and author whose new website brings their personality, creativity, and wonderfully chaotic brand to life!
We love helping fellow creatives build online spaces that feel authentically theirs, and we're excited to see where these new websites take them.
New Partnerships, New Possibilities!
We're also excited to share that Interleaf Ink is partnering with Storyrise and Liminal House Books!
Our partnership with Storyrise brings new opportunities to support our reader coordination services through a secure reading platform designed to protect authors' manuscripts while connecting them with thoughtful readers.
We're also joining forces with Liminal House Books, a publishing house that shares our passion for supporting authors and creating opportunities within the literary community.
These partnerships represent exciting opportunities to expand the resources, connections, and support available to the authors and readers who make Interleaf Ink what it is.
