Frequently Asked Questions
How do I submit my manuscript to Inkwell Press?
Upload your manuscript on inkwell.net and review our standards at studio.inkwell.net. When you're ready, submit it by adding one of our team as a collaborator (requires a paid account). If we accept your manuscript, we'll waive the $5,000 Studio fee and publish your book for free.
How does the 7-day free trial and 2 months free work?
For monthly subscriptions, you get a 7-day free trial to explore all features. After 7 days, your subscription begins and you'll be charged each month. For yearly subscriptions, you save 2 months—instead of paying for 12 months, you only pay for 10 months upfront and get access for the full year.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept all major credit cards.
Can I cancel my subscription anytime?
Yes, you can cancel at any time, and your plan will remain active until the end of your billing cycle.
What are inkdrops?
Inkdrops are the allowance your plan includes for Inkwell's AI tools. Heavier work spends more of them—looking up a citation costs a fraction of an inkdrop, copyediting a chapter a few, indexing a whole book a good deal more. Your monthly inkdrops refill at the start of every month, and you can see how many are left under My Account. If you need more, you can buy extra inkdrops on any paid plan; bought inkdrops never expire and are only spent once the month's run out. If you run out altogether, the AI tools pause until your inkdrops refill, and the rest of Inkwell is unaffected. On the Standard plan and above, work run on your own OpenAI or Anthropic key is billed by that provider and spends no inkdrops at all.
Who is eligible for the students and faculty discount?
Anyone with an education or academic email address (.edu or similar academic domains) automatically qualifies for a 50% discount on the Starter plan. Standard and Professional are full price for everyone.
How do I apply the students and faculty discount?
The discount is applied automatically during checkout when you sign up for the Starter plan with your academic email. You'll see the 50% discount reflected in your final price before completing your purchase.
What features are included in each pricing plan?
All Inkwell pricing plans include access to every premium feature on the platform. The only difference between plans is how much ink they include each month—the allowance the AI tools spend. Regardless of your choice of plan, you get the complete set of writing, research, and collaboration tools. Visit our features page to explore everything Inkwell has to offer.
