Ownership, Royalties, and the Credible.Ink Partnership

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

Your KDP and IngramSpark accounts are set up in your name. You receive payments directly and keep full ownership of your intellectual property.

Books published with Credible.Ink carry a Credible.Ink ISBN, and the Credible.Ink imprint appears as the publisher of record on the copyright page, in retailer listings and in industry metadata. This designation is administrative, not contractual: it reflects my production and publishing oversight, not ownership of your work. You remain the copyright holder and receive all royalties.

Custom Covers clients publish however and wherever they choose. The imprint applies only to books published with Credible.Ink.

Credible.Ink is not a vanity press or a traditional publisher. I do not acquire rights, control your distribution accounts, or take a percentage of your sales. I act as a strategic publishing partner, bringing editorial, design and production expertise so your book meets traditional-publisher standards while you keep full creative and financial control.

This model gives you:

• 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
