Literary Partner Guide
This space is strictly preserved to honor external readers, independent collectors, and book advocates. To secure your permanent placement on our official Page, you must meet the following criteria:
Prepare for Verification
To protect the integrity of our directory and satisfy international compliance guidelines for media housing and catalog inclusion, we verify all literary partnerships manually.
Compile your official digital receipts, order confirmations, or clear physical photos of your collected books.
Click the black button form on the main page The Literary Partner Program. Include your full legal name, your preferred directory display name (or your creative vigilante or fun title), and your verification details.
Once we review, verify and approve your submission, we will activate your dedicated page placement on our official page.
Your Literary Partner Benefits
You will be permanently listed here under our Literary Partner section showcasing your support.
Just like our Patrons, if you prefer to remain completely anonymous or operate behind a creative shield, you are invited to submit a fun, artistic, or vigilante title so we do not default to listing you as a generic number sequence. Previous literary partners will be mentioned but you are welcome to email us with a request to remove your name, and replace it with the fun/vigilante option.
Email us with your details if you don’t see your name mentioned by the end of 2027. After your verification, we will get to officially add you to the SHIP as an official, recognized Ink Gladiator Team Member.

& The Volume Distribution Circle
What Qualifies You?
You have purchased more than eight (8) books—digital or physical—across any of our available Bookshelves.
Those who are Patrons (USD 1,000+ or INR 50,000+) and those who purchase 100+ copies under our bulk licenses automatically qualify and become Literary Partners.
Those who provided tea, coffee, fruits, small amounts, or other forms of care—and even a loan in the form of relief for a period of time—also qualify for this title. Only those acts of kindness that were voluntary, willingly given, and deliberately provided are mentioned.
If you are an author who published a solo work with us, purchasing 8 or more copies of only your own titles does not qualify for this title. However, if your order includes your own books alongside a total assorted mix of IGP-owned books that meets this threshold, then that is fully allowed.
Non-Qualification
This program is strictly designed to recognize voluntary, external actions that directly support the publishing and community operations of our press. Standard family domestic provisions, personal household arrangements, and basic residential necessities do not fall within the scope of this professional directory.
Direct inclusion on this page is reserved exclusively for those who have intentionally, willingly, and voluntarily contributed to the execution of our creative projects, community platforms, or structural relief. General presence or non-operational proximity does not constitute active partnership.
Holding the title of an IGP Literary Partner or Premium Patron represents a celebration of mutual support, but it grants absolutely zero administrative authority, governance, or decision-making power over how this press is operated, curated, or managed. The founder retains sole, absolute sovereignty over all operational, distribution, and creative directions. We reserve the strict right to immediately disqualify any partner and permanently remove their listing from our directory if they breach our boundaries, compromise our peace of mind, or attempt to cross this operational line.
