Running Ink Press


Publisher info

Running Ink Press began with a free online magazine titled Forever Nocturne and under the name Full Moon Press. We’ve grown since then and have moved into book publication, which was our ultimate goal.

We don’t stick to the traditional rules of the industry, and we’re certainly not going to ask you to do so. Don’t be afraid to break the rules. We want you to tell the story from your heart, or allow the story to speak for itself rather than trying to contain it within a box. Set your characters free and see what happens. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t, but you’ll never know until you try.
