A new kind of literary space

Where indie authors
find their folk

The social platform built from scratch for independent and marginalized authors. Not a hashtag on someone else's app. A home.

The literary world has a visibility problem

Indie authors write the most daring, diverse, boundary-pushing fiction being published today. But the platforms they depend on were never built for them.

Algorithms that bury your voice

Instagram and TikTok reward video trends and engagement bait. Text-based creators, the people who write actual books, get pushed to the bottom of the feed.

Platforms that weren't made for you

Goodreads is for readers. Wattpad is for fanfiction. BookBub is for deals. None of them are social networks built around the working indie author.

Marginalized voices treated as "niche"

BIPOC, LGBTQ+, disabled, and neurodivergent authors are producing extraordinary work. But mainstream platforms and publishers still call them too niche to promote.

InkFolk is social media that understands authors

Author-first profiles

Showcase your books, genres, upcoming releases, and writing voice. Not your lunch photos.

Discovery by genre and voice

Readers find you through what you write and who you are, not how many followers you have.

Community circles

Genre-specific and identity-specific groups. Black romance writers. Queer sci-fi authors. Disabled poets. Your people, in one place.

Cross-promotion engine

Recommend fellow authors, share audiences, and lift each other up. The way indie authors already do, but built into the platform.

Built for the writers who build worlds

/ Self-published authors tired of shouting into algorithms that don't care about books
/ BIPOC, LGBTQ+, disabled, and neurodivergent writers who deserve a platform that centers, not sidelines, their work
/ Genre fiction authors in romance, fantasy, sci-fi, mystery, and horror who know their readers are out there but can't reach them
/ Readers who want to discover their next favorite author, not just their next favorite influencer
"The world is bigger than your block."
