Wayfinders-Ink Distinctions
You get unlimited calls between a set time, so that you can get the perfect product.
There is a Worldbuilding option in the higher prices, which will be where I advise on worldbuilding, and fill empty spaces. You can even get help figure out names for locations that may be stumping you.
This is more of a collaboration than commission, your world is top priority, and I work closely with you to ensure that it is perfect.
I am very passionate about worldbuilding AND writing, so I know how much you poured into the world and its story, and I want to give the perfect piece to represent it.
The process is quick, and the product is relatively cheap, though it doesn't lack quality.
Wayfinders-Ink, started in May of 2026, is a commission based business dedicated to creating beautiful, accurate maps for authors and creative enthusiasts alike. As an author myself, I fully understand how hard you work on your book and want to put in the same amount of effort for the maps inside it. I am dedicated to keeping the quality at a professional level. I use an advanced map-making application to create the digital maps that are emailed to the collaborator upon completion. I have full commercial use for the maps so legal implications are kept to a minimum. I also have a legal release paper in order to further prevent legal issues should it be requested.

About Wayfinders-Ink
About me
My name is Cayden McAdow, author, cartographer, and creative Enthusiast. I am currently enrolled in my dream school, The Author Conservatory, and I am working to publish high quality novels for Fiction/Fantasy lovers that demonstrate good values. I have been doing Cartography for years and absolutely love world-building; you can often find me daydreaming about the many fantastical worlds created and yet to be created. I love to view my map-making process as something more of a collaboration than just a commission-based transaction, as I always develop a love for the authors worlds and friendship with the author.
