Talk:Collective Ink

Requested move 15 August 2018
Zero Books → John Hunt Publishing – Zero Books isn't really a "publisher" of its own, but is an "imprint" of John Hunt Publishing (basically a brand, like "Nature Valley" is a granola bar company, and Nature Valley’s "Oats 'n Honey Granola Crunch" is a brand). See https://www.johnhuntpublishing.com/our-imprints.html. Zero Books is probably the biggest imprint, but it operates under the same John Hunt Publishing central office and by the same business practices as all the others, so the article should actually be rewritten to be about the publisher with a large section on this, its largest imprint.

 * Also note JHP uses circle-shape themes for many of its imprints. Circle Books, O Books, Moon Books, Cosmic Egg Books, and Roundfire Books among them. Hyperbolick (talk) 20:32, 15 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Seems this has been done. Hyperbolick (talk) 14:28, 25 August 2018 (UTC)

Post-move content
If moved these can be added:

"On the plus side John Hunt publishing deals directly with authors so you don't need an agent and is willing to take on niche titles that may not have mass-market appeal. On the minus side, because they are a small publisher, they are unable to pay advances, so you have to wait for the royalties to roll in. Depending on what contract you are offered, there may be a financial contribution to make on your part, although for the first two levels of contract, this doesn't apply. There are four different levels of contract available from John Hunt publishing. They offer different contracts to different authors depending on how well they think your book will sell and how well-known you are. It's worth reading through the contract properly if you get an idea accepted in principle, as depending on which contract you are offered, you may or may not find the terms acceptable to you."

"The company has a number of autonomous imprints in different genres, including Religion, Mind Body Spirit, Political Science, fiction and non fiction. [They] rely heavily on in-house online publishing systems, designed by authors, for authors, in order to be lean, quick, and hand back to the author as high a proportion of the sales income that we can achieve. [Their] marketing provides every book with a basic promotional campaign and then, for every 500 copies sold, [they] dedicate another round of publicity."


 * "a good cross section of pagan book titles in print can be viewed at John Hunt Publishing at the following imprints: Moon Books (witchcraft, pagan and shamanic), 6th Books (paranormal and parapsychology), Axis Mundi (esoteric and magical), Dodona (divination)."


 * With no opposition to the move, I'll start the rewrite. Hyperbolick (talk) 17:33, 20 August 2018 (UTC)

Zero or Zer0
The imprint seems to generally use the latter i.e. ending with the integer. I am uncertain whether that means Wikipedia should. Jontel (talk) 17:26, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
 * With the number, then. Correctly reflect the name of the thing. Hyperbolick (talk) 18:12, 27 June 2020 (UTC)

Move. Title Change to "Collective Ink"
Hi, the JHP company has changed its name recently to Collective Ink or Collective Ink Limited, I suggest the title be changed and there be a redirect. Weltalter (talk) 16:59, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Turns out there is an official process for this, WP:RM. For the reasons discussed on your talk page, I would revert your removals from this page. Suggest you address. Hyperbolick (talk) 23:34, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
