About: StoneHouse Ink is an imprint of Ampelon
Publishing and will be publishing Christian/clean fiction.
StoneHouse Ink also works with StoneHouse Ink is a Partner Publishing company that offers first time authors the chance to be published and gives a well-known author somewhere to go with their Out of Print, and new titles. StoneHouse Ink is always looking to work with new and old authors alike. E-books: StoneHouse Ink is excited to be on the cutting edge of E-books. We have a direct account with Apple, and were one of the first publishers on the new ipad. All StoneHouse titles are uploaded as E-books and are available on every known E-book device. We also are working with authors to find more ways to sell their content. E-books are just one way and enhanced E-books are in the works. We are even trying out a new idea and releasing titles in an E form before the print release in order to test the market and build excitement. Unlike most publishers, we look forward to the new way of publishing, and are finding ways to build and grow in this change instead of fearing the future. In this ever-changing world of publishing StoneHouse understands that in order to thrive, they must change as well. This is not the end of publishing but this is the re-making of publishing. The future is E and soon our children will hold a Kindle or a ipad in school, and our bags will be packed with one device as we go on vacation, instead of five books. This is not bad it is just different. As the future expands, StoneHouse will be there to help authors rise to the challenge.  Authors: Submissions: As a writer interested in seeing your book “in print”, you are knocking on the door of one of the most glamorous yet mysterious institutions in this country: the Publishing Industry. We know (all too well, unfortunately) that most publishers ignore potential authors, but we are different. We embrace you. Rest assured there will be no mystery to whether or not we received your proposal. Our commitment to you is to actually review your information and consider it for publication with StoneHouse. The venture of publishing is not without risk – But the rewards can be substantial.
