Indies & Ink is a cozy online marketplace where indie authors can showcase their books and bookish merch. We support self-published storytellers by giving them a space to share their work directly with readers, no big publishing gatekeepers involved!

Our Author Tees are exclusive, custom-designed t-shirts that feature indie books and the authors behind them. These shirts are made to celebrate indie stories and help spread the word about your favorite books! They're sold at cost, meaning Indies & Ink and the authors don’t profit, your purchase is a direct show of support.

Currently, we only ship within the U.S.

We accept most major credit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and PayPal.

Book Orders & Author Merch:

• Items ship directly from a print-on-demand partner.

• Orders are typically processed within 3–5 business days.

• You’ll receive a tracking number as soon as your order ships.

Custom Apparel (Author Tees & other shirts):

• These are made-to-order and shipped directly from our print partner.

• Production usually takes 5–7 business days, followed by standard shipping time based on your location.

Because many of our items are custom-made or fulfilled directly by partners, all sales are final. However, if there’s a problem with your order (wrong item, damaged in shipping, etc.), contact us on our contact us page, and we’ll make it right!

Yes! Any books or merch sold directly through the site (excluding cost-priced items like Author Tees) help support the indie author behind it. Authors are paid monthly, and everything is handled with full transparency.
