About Inky Bookwyrm Press

Inky Bookwyrm Press was founded by Gina Kammer in 2019. Initially, Gina Kammer offered writing and editing services for authors and publishers. As authors began to seek more ongoing mentorship, Gina drew from her teaching experience as a college writing instructor and developed a private coaching option. Since then, the business has expanded into group coaching through the Enchant Your Readers program. The program combines step-by-step course material and individualized coaching on live calls to take authors from idea to solid draft. Authors seeking traditional publishing benefit from the Querying Course to prepare materials and develop a strategy for reaching out to agents. With the help of additional team partners, self-publishing authors can also polish their manuscripts for publication through copy edits and proofreads. Inky Bookwyrm Press publishes the Story Grimoire for novel planning, the Drafting Log for tracking data in the writing phase, the Story Decoder for manuscript revision, and the Scene Spellbook Outline for both detailed and overview looks at story structure. These publications are exclusively accessible to coaching clients. Learn more at inkybookwyrm.com

Known as the grumpy bunny that was far better at schmoozing than he needed to be. Schmoozing for snacks, that is...
