About HB Ink
Heather Ashle established HB Ink, LLC, in 2012, in a bid to put her pair of English degrees to good use in her community. What began as a local editing and formatting company—primarily involved in polishing business projects and print articles—expanded to include a publishing imprint in 2022 to house Heather’s Realm Riders Series.
Heather’s compassion for the independent authors trying to share their stories in this nuanced publishing industry transitioned HB Ink from a single-series house to a growing imprint that has become the house of record for an increasing number of authors in various genres.
In 2025, HB Ink broadened its offerings yet again, adding website services for authors and other professionals seeking ways to better connect with their readers and customers.
If you’re looking for an editor who can polish your work while preserving your authorial voice and take you all the way to publication, print, or presentation, HB Ink may be exactly what you need.
