Win & Get Published
Submit your novel now!

Hi Writer's Digest Subscriber,
 

Did you know that there is an easy way to promote your novel for free and maybe win a publishing deal at the same time?

How, you ask? Lets start from the top.

Can you imagine a world without Hogwarts? If J.K. Rowlings manuscript had been left in the publishers hands, we might have never gotten to experience the Wizarding World of Harry Potter.

Harry Potter was rejected 12 times before J.K. Rowling landed a publishing deal. Here was the biggest bestseller of our time being passed over and over again. If it hadnt been for the eight-year-old daughter of an editor finding the manuscript on her fathers desk and falling in love with it, Harry Potter might not have made it out of the slush pile. 

The editor accepted her work but told her to keep her day job - now shes a billionaire. This proves that publishing movements are made by readers, not by editors.

Inspired by the obstacles literary legends had to overcome, a new publishing company called Inkitt was created. Their mission is to make sure that the next J.K. Rowling doesnt get turned down, by making the publishing industry fairer and more objective. 

How do they do it?

At Inkitt, every book goes through an initial readership analysis in order to collect reading data to find out how hooked people are while reading and uncover the book's ideal audience. This way, Inkitt is able to identify novels that have bestseller potential and gain crucial information about its readership, even before publication, allowing the publishing team to elaborate a very targeted marketing strategy. 

"Why leave it up to a subjective person, when you can collect real data to make real book deal decisions?"

So you see, Inkitt puts the power in readers hands and knows through real customer data whether a book is good and whether the market will like it.

Once a novel is identified as a bestseller, the author is presented with a contract that includes the following terms: a dedicated marketing team focused on building a long-term career for you as an author, professional editing and cover design, and 51% royalties on print sales and 25% royalties on eBook sales.

Since 2016, Inkitt has published over 30 bestselling novels from aspiring authors.

Want your book to be seen by hundreds of thousands of readers? All you need to do is take a couple of minutes, Inkitt and upload your book.

Inkitt is currently running a contest and the days are running thin! The submission deadline is January 31st. There are no entry fees, you retain all rights to your work while it is on Inkitt, and you may withdraw at any time.

The only requirement is that your novel must be fiction, 20,000 words or more, and written in English.

If youve written a book that didnt quite get the spotlight it deserves, submit it to Inkitt, and theyll get it to their readers. 

If readers love it, Inkitt will offer you a real publishing deal, and their professional marketing team will get to work promoting your novel as much as possible.
