Ink Gladiators Press

Ink Gladiators Press (IGP) is an independent publishing house that was founded in August 2019. Based on the fundamental values of what it means to be humane, we publish books, support independent authors, collaborators, publishers and Earthians of all kinds as well as foster an enjoyable ecosystem for writers, poets, artists, photographers, etc, to share their "heart languages—words, art & creativity". Our mission is to publish, promote, and preserve creative voices as well as to champion peace, truth, and compassion. We lightly play with the acronym,"IGP", which also stands for "I Guard Peace" because we believe in a "humanity-first" approach, emphasize the importance of mental health awareness by bringing hope, and have a strong stance that peace is an active practice. Our goal is to amplify voices that might otherwise be silenced and to counter the idea that creativity is merely a hobby. We use nature, imagination, and fun metaphors to organize our initiatives into distinct branches, which includes the IGP SHIP (IGPS), Our Earthians Community Group (OECG), and Translations of Hope (TOH).
