• Bold, original narratives across multiple genres

Goldberg, known for her decades-long influence in entertainment and media, said the venture aligns with her passion for storytelling that reflects a broader range of voices.

Industry Impact


With Goldberg’s platform and Blackstone’s distribution power, WhoopInk could become a significant player in pushing for greater inclusivity in the literary world.

Bottom Line


WhoopInk isn’t just a business move—it’s a mission-driven effort to reshape storytelling and ensure more voices are heard.
