IGP SHIP (IGPS)
Individual Growth, Support & Expression through the Community
Welcome aboard the IGP SHIP
The beating heart of Ink Gladiators Press—a vessel of courage, creativity, and community, the IGP SHIP (IGPS) is the adventure ship from where all our other paths grow, evolve, and become. It unifies our unique initiatives, independent publications, and deep creative support systems. Each world here is deeply rooted in our mission to nurture individual voices, support self-publishers on their own terms, and cultivate spaces for expression.
The Castle Newsrooms
For our authors, global contributors, and dedicated readers, The Derecho — IGP's Newspaper operates within a vibrant, imaginary, and beautiful castle. Its highly specialized newsrooms are meticulously designed to deliver the very best information on your books, trivia, behind-the-scenes glimpses, industry reflections, internal encouragement, and vital announcements from our expanding forest homes.
The Newsroom Library is split into three distinct rooms:
The Internal Room
The Desk Releases houses specialized articles thoroughly researched, written, and officially signed off on by R.R.
The External Rooms
The Book Lab: Residing deep within the production sectors, these rooms archive articles researched, written, and signed off on by Reena Doss. They are permanently recorded across two distinct branches:
The Newsroom Café is a bustling space featuring articles signed off on by R.R., serving as the central network hub for daily community conversations, comical mischief, and authenticated project updates.
Café Buzz
They usually diversify into three specific sections:
- Slipping Chatterboxes – Managed by Aar and Penny
- Mischievous Tea – Managed by Aar, Deck, and Anty Micro
- Coffee Scrolls – Managed by Deck
The repository where the records of our massive Interview Registry are beautifully preserved, protected, and permanently shelved here by Penny.
The Heart of Purpose
Whether crossing professional, personal, or public pathways, every route inside these newsrooms leads to more books, fresh adventures, and a simple, powerful reminder:
HOPE can be everything you need
to be ADVENTUROUS
in YOUR PURPOSE
if you believe in the One
who made you to ignite
others' reasons for EXISTENCE.
When you sow with good intentions, you reap a harvest of plenty for both yourself, the world around you, and beyond you. Nothing is impossible for God, our beloved Weaver, and we remain eternally grateful to Him because He has sustained not just our work, but our inner purpose through every changing season, every structural milestone, and every new creative achievement.
The Substack Landing
Beyond the flagship layout sits a digital, tangible, yet slow-growing space called IGP SHIP on Substack. Every ship needs an anchored harbor to rest, process, and review the journeys taken.
Though not yet officially launched, this landing serves as our external logging harbor, where structured articles detailing our various community resources, media reviews, and literature recommendations are permanently archived to support, reinforce, and document the ongoing sum of our many creative adventures.
know this— You are welcome, you are invited,
and your voice matters.
