Inkitt operates as a reader-powered publisher, offering a platform where readers can access a diverse range of books for free across various genres like fantasy, sci-fi, romance, and more. The platform allows readers to provide feedback to authors, influencing the development of stories. Authors can submit their work, and Inkitt uses data on reader engagement, such as reading time and feedback, to identify promising novels. Successful submissions are then offered publishing deals, which may include distribution on Inkitt's sister app, GALATEA. This model reduces risk by focusing on stories that have already garnered reader interest. Inkitt generates revenue through these publishing deals, sharing profits with authors, and may also earn from premium content. The goal of Inkitt is to connect readers with new literary talent while supporting authors in their publishing journey.
