Collaborating on Your Creative Project

Because every story deserves its own spotlight

At TingeWorld, we believe creativity should never be confined by gatekeepers. Whether you’re crafting a slim novella, a vibrant coloring book, or a quirky collection of short prose, your project deserves a place in the world. That’s why we offer collaboration opportunities for authors and creators who want to take control of their publishing journey without losing access to professional tools, and keeping 80% Royalties.

What We Offer

• Author-First Royalties: We aren’t in the business of "creative accounting." At TingeWorld, authors keep 80% of their royalties. We believe the person who did the actual writing should be the one who actually gets paid.

• ISBN Assignment: Every book published through TingeWorld receives a unique ISBN, making it a recognized title in the U.S. publishing system. This ensures your work is properly catalogued and discoverable in libraries, bookstores, and global databases.

• Trade Directory & Bowker Listing: We don’t just print books—we make sure they can be found. Your title is listed in the U.S. Trade Directory and registered with Bowker, ensuring it reaches the retailers and distributors who still value curated, independent voices.

• Wholesale Options: We love a good physical bookstore. We provide deep discounts on wholesale orders for brick-and-mortar shops, making it significantly easier for your book to land on real wooden shelves rather than just getting lost in a digital warehouse.

Why 80%? (The Math of Integrity)

Most traditional publishers and "giant" platforms take a massive bite out of your earnings, often leaving authors with a measly 10% to 25% after everyone else has helped themselves. We think that’s an odd way to reward creativity. By keeping our overhead lean and our focus independent, we flip the script. You put in the work, so you keep the lion’s share. It’s a novel concept, we know.

The Royalty Rundown: How We Compare

Publishing Model	Typical Print Royalties	Typical Ebook Royalties	Who Controls the Price?
Traditional Publishing	5% – 10%	25% (of net)	The Publisher
Global Retail Giants	40% – 60%*	35% – 70%*	The Algorithm
TingeWorld	80%	80%	The Author

*Note: Retail giants often subtract printing and "delivery" fees from your cut, meaning your actual take-home is often much lower than the percentage suggests. At TingeWorld, we keep it transparent.

Types of Projects We Welcome

• Novelettes and Novellas – shorter works that mainstream publishers often overlook, but which indie readers love.

• Activity & Coloring Books – creative, hands-on titles that thrive outside traditional publishing molds.

• Hybrid Creations – collections, illustrated works, or experimental formats that blend words and images.

We understand that creativity doesn’t always fit into neat categories, and that’s what excites us most.

Why Work with TingeWorld?

Because we know what it’s like to fight for space in a marketplace that favors algorithms over artistry. Our model is designed to keep the spotlight where it belongs: on your vision. You’ll retain control, while benefiting from the infrastructure and credibility that come with professional publishing.

✨ If you’re ready to bring your creative project to life — and want a publishing partner who celebrates the quirky, the bold, and the offbeat — we’d love to collaborate with you.
