"We don't just love fiction, we curate the best genre writing from emerging voices"

We want to help new creatives tell stories that need to be told. So many authors are stuck searching for an agent or a publisher that takes their work seriously. The big firm's only care what's commercially viable or trend-hopping.

We started UnderInk to help emerging voices find a place to grow, gain legitimacy, and put great fiction into the world.

The UnderInk team is here for readers of genre fiction and every book nerd out there.

Why buy directly from us?

When you buy directly from our website all of your money goes to us, rather than some percentage being clipped off by Amazon or Apple.

We take those profits and distribute to the authors, and use the rest to keep building out our pipeline to find new, emerging authors writing under observed works of science fiction and fantasy.

How We Do It

We, each of us, live in a context of sensory experience primarily defined by physical boundaries. In our current moment we are drawn from that context by images and sounds algorithmically, enjambed against and to disrupt our sense of self. We believe the written word stands in opposition to this disruption.

The Mission

Deliver works of/about genre fiction to readers that wouldn't be discovered otherwise. Infuse the world with works that teach us who we are, how we think the world, and how we understand the contexts in which we live.

The Team

We're owned and operated by readers and authors. We're here to find the new, the eccentric and give them a voice.

Guaranteed Human

Every word is written by a person. We believe in the elemental experience of humanity.

Every story we showcase is accompanied by an introduction and collected short essay.
