Ownership, Royalties & The Credible Ink Partnership

Every Credible Ink author keeps 100 % of rights, royalties, and accounts.

Your KDP and IngramSpark dashboards are set up in your name — you receive payments directly and retain full ownership of your intellectual property.

When a Credible Ink ISBN is used, our imprint appears as the publisher of record for industry identification. That designation is administrative, not contractual — it reflects production oversight, not ownership. You remain the copyright holder and recipient of all royalties.

• Authors publishing through the Essentials Package may choose to publish under their own name or under the Credible Ink imprint, depending on their preference for brand alignment.

• Books developed through the Accelerated Authorship program are published under the Credible Ink imprint as a mark of creative partnership and production quality.

Credible Ink is not a vanity press or a traditional publisher.
We do not acquire rights, control your distribution accounts, or take a percentage of your sales.
Instead, we act as a strategic self-publishing partner — combining editorial, design, and production expertise to ensure your book meets traditional-publisher standards while you maintain full creative and financial control.

This model gives you the best of both worlds:

• The credibility of professional publication

• The control and profitability of independent ownership

• A creative partnership that treats your book as a strategic asset, not a product to exploit
