Welcome to Inkventory!

Authors are skipping the middleman and selling their own books and merch. Bookstores want to stock signed books that don't come with massive distributor markups. Until now, there hasn't been an easy way to connect the two. That's where we come in!This is a platform built to connect authors of all genres offering direct sales with bookstores ready to stock them.

How it works:

-Authors join the list with their ordering forms and some basic information about their books and themselves.-Bookstores browse the list and place their orders directly with authors! The database can be sorted to help fill in different genres and representation on your store's shelves.

Welcome, Authors! Let's get you on the list!

Welcome, booksellers! Let's fill your shelves!
