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 doesn’t get turned down, by making the publishing industry more fair and
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 were while reading, and uncover who the book's ideal audience is. This way, Inkitt is able to identify novels that do 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 the 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: Inkitt spends a minimum of $6000 into your launch campaign, commissions professional
editing and cover design, a dedicated marketing team with a proven record of achieving enough sales on launch day to make your book #1 in its genre categories and rank within the top 50 on Amazon (out of all 4-5 million titles), and you get 25% royalties.
Want your book to be seen by hundreds of thousands of readers? All you need to do is take a couple of minutes, click this link and upload your book.
Inkitt is currently running a contest and there is still time to enter! Submission deadline is May 31st. There are no entry fees.
The only requirement: your novel must be 20k words or more.
If you’ve written a book that didn’t quite get the spotlight it deserves, submit it to Inkitt and they’ll get it to their readers.
If readers love it, they’ll offer you real publishing deal and their professional marketing team will get to work making you both money.
P.S.: In case you’re worried, you can even tell them to limit the number of free copies they allow their readers to read.
