Bold of Rhea to assume that regular sausages in Tuonako list their real ingredients... It might be time to try lentils. Thankfully, IQ books are all 100% organic human-written with no 'artificial' ingredients. 😉 . . . #NoAI #FuckAI #DarkFantasy #IndiePress #NewReads

Old Phuul is OUT TODAY! 💀 Can a Necromancer save a dying world? The Viiminian Empire rots from within, its dominion mere walking corpses and fading memory. Everyone knows its glory is gone. Everyone except Rhea Phuul. Grab your copy from anywhere books are sold - eBook and Pbk versions available!

If you're reading this as it's posted, Rhea would be proud! 😉 Let us know in the comments what time you're seeing this and there might be a free eBook in it for one lucky reader! #fyp #darkfantasy #reading #tbr #giveaway

Do you ever meet a character for the first time and within 0.42 seconds you just _know_ you're going to enjoy their page-time? There's at least one in every IQ book, and not necessarily the protagonists! Who was your last surprising-favourite? #fantasynovel #fyp #tbr #reading #favecharacter

Poor Rhea didn't get the memo that it's okay to DNF a book you're not enjoying. 🫥 Not every book is for every person, and that's totally normal! What was the reason for your last DNF? #reading #dnf #tbr

'The Lady Chatterley' Trial is commonly regarded as one of the great cultural watersheds of modern times – the point at which the taboos of late Victoriana eased into an era where writers could openly tackle any subject-matter... right? Author Dan Stride takes a look at taboo in fantasy fiction.

It's here and it is ~beautiful~. Deep As A Tomb is now out, and we can't wait for you folks to experience this cover IRL. The more you look, the more you see... kind of like Myla with her herbology books...

Er... whoops? 🙃 I mean, we've all had a prank go accidentally too far, but getting involved in royal intrigue in a city that isn't even yours is a bit much. Though apparently not for Doniver! 'The Wind Reader' eBook is ON SALE NOW (ends July 5th). Available everywhere, including the IQ site!

YA Fantasy author @dorothywinsor.bsky.social  very confidently prefers reading eBooks over physical paperbacks... but for an excellent reason! What format do you prefer, and why? (And yes, Audiobooks are books! Don't @ us!) #AudioBooks #eBooks #AmReading #YAFantasy #Author

Every family's got a Galen. 😅🙃 The one who never picked up a book, drove the tutor to early retirement, and somehow still has opinions on everything. Myla's only got two words for him and tbh, that's generous. Deep As A Tomb by @dorothywinsor.bsky.social is out June 30th. Pre-order today!

Begin before the beginning... The Wind Reader is ON SALE NOW in eBook format. Get your copy before the prequel launches on June 30th! (Available almost everywhere online, including the IQ website if you don't want to give Bezos more rocket money). #BookSale #YAFantasy #BookSky

There's nothing quite like being called out on your own nonsense... Deep As A Tomb by @dorothywinsor.bsky.social is out June 30th. Pre-order paperback & eBooks both available! #YAFantasy #Bookstagram #BookQuotes #ReadIndie #FantasyBook

It's almost here! 'Deep As A Tomb' launches at the end of this month and we are ~hyped~. And our amazing 'Proud Reader' tote bags are ONLY available direct on the IQ website... because iykyk. 😉📚

Deep As A Tomb by @dorothywinsor.bsky.social is out soon! I don't know what I'm more pleased about - the fact the author thought this book trailer for her amazing YA Fantasy was quality enough to post on our socials... or the fact that it 'only' took me 4.5 hours to create! 😅

Wait... TWO cover reveal posts in one month?! @dorothywinsor.bsky.social's Deep As A Tomb introduces us to 17-year-old Myla who feels the land in her blood and bones. To young Prince Beran burning with a need for revenge. And to forest-born Kaven who will do anything to protect the girl he loves.

Important, serious article going live on the IQ blog this week...

After a *saga* of a process (long story), we can finally share the cover for 'Old Phuul' by Dan Stride. Dark fantasy with rotting empires, ancient faith, shadow-stalking inquisitors, and one very stubborn woman who refuses to -ahem- let the dead stay dead. Coming August 1st!

Super proud to be have renewed our 'Disability Confident' status last week. The only reason we're still level 1 is that we don't have any PAYE employees. Otherwise I'm confident (har har) that we'd easily hop to level 2.

It's National Library Lover's Month! The spaces are great, but it's the people who work in them that make them so special. I have zero doubt that 'librarians riding on horseback to post-apocalypse wastelands to deliver books to folks in need' would be an actual thing they'd do, too...

We -love- short and flash fiction. Over the last decade, we've published 10(!) titles containing shorter-than-novella work, with themes of: - Moments Of Fight / Flight - Identity & Becoming - Heroines in Fantasy - Monsters Within & Without - Hope As A Verb - Community What's your fave short story?

There's still time! ⌛ Paperback prices for IQ titles are increasing this week... apart from on the IQ website. If you've been waiting to order our books, you have this month only to lock-in the old price of £9.99 and save £2.50! We'll honour ALL website sales at the old price until we update them.

Did you know we've only ever published ONE book in January!? 😅 Happy 14th(!!) birthday to Claiming One by E.J. Runyon! Indie Authors - share your January-publications! (Yes, really. Let's give the readers of BlueSky some ideas for their 2026 TBR piles!)

Just in case you didn't get enough books in December, we have one more to add to your pile! 📚 Root Cause is a multi-author, multi-genre (gasp!) anthology on the theme of community. All profits are sent to grassroots orgs. Look at that gorgeous cover! And social-consciousness at the same time? 👌

What do you mean your book formatter doesn't send you beautiful New Year cards every December? 🤗 Yet another year of working with the wonderful BBeBooks Thailand - thank you Paul & Team! (With cameo from my much-loved 'White Dragon by Michael Whelan' bookish mouse mat).

Big news! Edge of Ascension (Resonance #4) is officially out and folks are already reading it! 🦊🐲🐺 You can order it now in paperback, Kindle, or ePub from our site or your favorite retailer. #furrynovel #fantasybook #dragons #readindie #indiepress

The final chapter begins. 2,000 years of history, one last battle, and a legacy hanging by a thread. The path to peace is a knife's edge, and every moment is a chance to lose it all. Edge of Ascension by @pangolinfox.bsky.social is here on October 3rd! #indiepress #legacy #Fantasy #furryfic

COVER REVEAL! Edge of Ascension (by the frankly incomparable @pangolinfox.bsky.social) is due to be released October 3rd! Keep an eye (and a paw!) out for pre-order opportunities on the IQ website. 🦊🐦

We've been super busy here at IQ over the last couple of months (despite how quiet we've been on socials!) Something awesome this way comes... #BookSky #FantasyNovel #ShopIndie #IndiePress

You know that phrase "there's a quote for everything"? Well, at IQ, this is absolutely true. These two books are wildly different (furry fantasy and literary climate fiction), but this highlights one important thing: all media consumption is political (even if it doesn't feel like it). #bookish

Remnant's Hope is finally here! Join some of your most beloved characters, and meet new ones in these 5 Tales of Resonance! Get your copy (Pbk and eBooks!) here: www.inspired-quill.com/product/remn... #furlit #yafantasy #fantasy #booksky #shortstories #indiepublishing #socialenterprise #animals
