IGP SHIP MEMBERS

The Official IGP Team List

Welcome to the heart of Ink Gladiators Press. This page is dedicated to honor the pillars of our independent community.

The individuals listed below have actively kept our creative fire alive through premium mission patronage, bulk distribution, or voluntary acts of deep personal care, tangible support, or temporary relief.

We do not believe in anonymous numbers. We believe in honoring the human hands that held hope with us by listing the exact ways they did so—whether in small or big ways, not just in words, or for public applause, but in action where no one could see, hear, or know what they did.

👑 The Premium Patron Circle

This section is for those who choose to back our press at the Premium Patron Level.
They are automatically recognized here as core Literary Partners
for fueling our one-woman press.

The Circle Awaits - Become a Pillar

This space is held in readiness for our future Patrons. If you wish to fuel a one-woman press and back our upcoming missions, our door is open. We look forward to welcoming and honoring our first Premium Patrons here.

🌌 The Literary Partners Circle

This section is for the hands who stepped forward willingly, voluntarily and deliberately
to sustain our founder, her peace of mind, and the press when it mattered most.

To our early supporters, Ink Gladiators, and genuine well-wishers—those who stood with us at the beginning, those whose paths diverged along the way, and those who continue to champion our mission with sincerity: thank you. We are deeply grateful to everyone who purchased books from our shelves during our foundational years, provided a listening ear during challenging times, and simply chose to be present even when we were quietly building. Though it is impossible to name each of you individually, please know that your foundational support—from the rare few who checked in to offer tangible assistance, to the ones who gave consistent care without expectation or transactional intentions—will be deeply remembered by us.

Preethi Doss

Thank you for your delicious meals, your early support as a valuable QC Reader, and the times you gave tangible care so generously with even the little you had without expectation of return. I am grateful for the abundance shared from your heart across different seasons.

James Doss

Thank you for the times you kept a mug of hot tea ready for me, for making breakfast on days I was super hungry or skipped meals, and for always keeping my spirits high with your natural wit and laughter when the work felt overwhelming.

Shruti Sharma

Thank you for providing a tangible loan during a difficult period of sharing expenses between 2021 – 2022. As I was building IGP, your care with editing my first manuscript and providing early editorial support mattered a lot to me. The thoughtful gifts you shared in that time including the t-shirt acknowledging my work as a one-woman press, your painting of my original logo, and souvenirs from your travels are some of my and IGP's favorite treasures.

Shoba Sharma

Thank you for always checking in on me, for the curd rice, fruits, and the generous, loving meals whenever I visited. I am deeply grateful for our kind, thoughtful conversations, and for the birthday envelopes of INR 1,000 every year that provided a welcome buffer for me.

Mrinalini Aryan

I appreciate your supportive conversations when things were challenging, especially your presence at the beginning of this year. Even when times were tough last year and you haven't been able to visit me in person, you thoughtfully booked the auto so that I could visit you. Thank you for backing the press in the small ways you could and encouraging my work as an author this year by purchasing almost all of my digital books for a discounted rate of INR 2,000+ during my first bookstore trial.

Shruti Reddy

Thank you for generously supporting my upcoming book with a gift of INR 2,000 this year, even before its official release. I appreciate your belief in this project so much.

Miriam Otto

Thank you for buying the three original books at the start and for sending us your first chapbook, as well as three copies of your book after it was published, along with letters, photographs, and postcards. Thank you for the calendar and the art workshop book that sits on my shelf as future inspiration. You even bought a few of my books, IGP's anthologies, and collaborations, for which we are truly grateful.

Priti Kana

Thank you for being one of my staunchest supporters and for talking about my work to your peers. From buying a few digital books to support my path, to generously gifting me INR 2,000 during a difficult year when you didn’t have enough yourself, your belief in me has meant everything.

MD

Thank you for your consistent emotional support while I was building, learning how to use code, and experimenting with creative ideas. It's the simple things that matter in the end. The conversations, friendship, and deep care you provided during a year when I was isolated made me feel less alone.

Medonguno Thore

Thank you for spontaneously deciding to contribute INR 3,000 towards our press so we can keep doing what we do, and for your kindness in always keeping an open door for me.

Çetin Baykan

Thank you for taking a liking to the publications of IGP, and for being the first person to donate three books to three libraries in Australia, as well as ordering a copy of my friend's book and mine.

Aretha Samuel

Thank you for your generous contribution of USD 200 towards my publishing projects that I am currently working on. Your enthusiasm, belief in me, and the yearly tradition of a luncheon whenever you visit has given me more encouragemen than you know.
