The store is launching a social media campaign to encourage people to check out drafts, manuscripts, and published works on Inkshares. Ada's is also considering the possibility of publishing authors from outside the Pacific Northwest. To promote the new imprint Ada’s put up signage in-store, hoping to pique the interest of local authors. Our vision for the Ada’s Technical Books Collection is one that, like our shelves, will include a range of books that contain writing about science and technology, whether they be books of poetry, academic essays, kids books, or how-to-manuals.” For the titles' covers and interiors, booksellers can have more of a say.Īlex Hughes, events manager at Ada’s said she saw the opportunity with Inkshares as "a long-term project. Additionally, of course, there is the additional revenue stream that the publishing work offers.īecause Inkshares handles editorial, marketing, design, and distribution (through Ingram), bookstores, Kaye noted, can focus on the books themselves. It also provides them with a way to offer an alternative to Amazon’s CreateSpace. Kaye views an Inkshares imprint as a way for indies across the country to deepen ties with their local writing community.
