Get to know us

Ink & Ash Books was created for readers who love the simple comfort of a good book.

We believe books should feel easy to find, easy to enjoy, and always worth coming back for. Whether you’re searching for a new release, a well-loved classic, or a story you didn’t know you needed, our shelves are curated with care to make discovering your next read effortless.

Founded by lifelong reader and self-published author Jack J Lacey, Ink & Ash Books grew from a deep respect for storytelling in all its forms. We proudly range independently published works, offering space for established voices alongside emerging authors.

We are open to submissions from indie authors whose stories align with our values of quality, originality, and reader connection. Every submission is considered thoughtfully, with the same care we give to every book we stock. If you would like to find out more about how you can get your book on our site, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Our aim is to be a bookstore you trust, one you return to instinctively. A place where recommendations feel genuine, discovery feels natural, and stories come first.

From bestselling favourites to hidden gems, Ink & Ash Books exists to celebrate great writing and the readers who love it.

Welcome in.
We’re glad you’re here.
