⭐ Is Ruined By Fiction Legit? Here’s Everything You Need to Know
If you’re here, you’ve probably seen our books on Instagram or Pinterest and thought:
“Okay but… is Ruined By Fiction legit?”
Totally fair question.
Here’s the honest, transparent breakdown of who we are, what we do, and how this little indie bookstore works behind the scenes.
⭐ Who Runs Ruined By Fiction?
Ruined By Fiction is a one-woman-led independent bookstore based in India, supported by a tiny (but mighty) team that helps with printing and packing.
I don’t outsource my books or drops to factories or warehouses.
Everything is done in-house, with care.
⭐ How Ruined By Fiction Actually Started
Before Ruined By Fiction became a bookstore, it began with one customised foiled book I made as a gift for a friend. I shared it online, a few requests came in, and that small moment became my first real step into book customisation.
Then came:
➡️ a book subscription box in 2021
➡️ a bookish merch store
➡️ and finally, what we specialize in today -
small-batch sprayed-edge special editions
Every version of RBF grew naturally from what I genuinely loved making.
⭐ Who Designs Your Sprayed Edges?
I don’t use AI designs.
I don’t “generate” art.
I work with real artists from around the world - artists whose work I love and whose styles fit the books perfectly.
You get authentic, artist-created editions - not automated AI stuff.
⭐ Are the Books Printed in India?
Yes.
Every sprayed edge book is:
- printed in-house
- checked by hand
- packed by hand
- shipped directly from my workspace
No middlemen. No mystery warehouses. No third-party printers.
⭐ Do You Actually Ship the Books?
Yes - and we ship worldwide.
Orders are packed from our warehouse in India and picked up by the courier team once they are ready for dispatch.
Each book goes through multiple checks to ensure the quality of the books.
⭐ Are You Affiliated With Any Other Brands?
No.
Ruined By Fiction is 100% independent.
We are not connected to any other Indian sprayed-edge bookstores or subscription boxes.
Every product under RBF is created and printed in-house by my team and me.
⭐ What Do Customers Say?
Don’t take just my word for it, you can read verified customer reviews here:
(These are pulled directly through our review app from reviews posted by real verified customers.)
⭐ The Short Answer
Yes, Ruined By Fiction is completely legit.
We print every edge in-house, work closely with real artists, ship the books ourselves, and run this entire bookstore with intention, transparency, and a LOT of love.
If you choose to buy from me… thank you for trusting a small indie creator.
It means more than you know ❤️
