Author obsessed and reader-powered, Inkitt finds hidden talents and turns them into globally successful authors. Inkitt is committed to shining a spotlight on talented authors. That’s why we’ve developed a fair way of discovering writers by giving them a platform to showcase their books to the world. Here at Inkitt, the power of reader feedback drives all of our publishing opportunities.
Once you create your Inkitt account and upload your book, you start the process of getting selected for a publishing deal! The process is simple; we analyze reader patterns and engagement with your book to determine if it has bestseller potential on our GALATEA fiction app.
When we find a potential bestseller, our publishing team reaches out to you about getting signed. No gatekeepers. No biases. It’s publishing made fair.
Where Does Inkitt Publish My Work?
We do things differently, and that doesn’t stop at publishing. When we discover the potential in your work, we will contact you with an offer to sign a publishing contract. This means that your work will first be published in English on our sister app, GALATEA. Later, it might also be published in other formats, translated into additional languages, and produced as an English-language audiobook, which can also be translated into up to 10 other languages.
What Is GALATEA?
GALATEA is the world’s fastest-growing reading app, with millions of active readers bingeing over 60 million chapters per month. Writers who want to monetize their work know that GALATEA has something for every reader, including:
- Original authors’ stories in several languages!
- Audiobooks in English and German, with more languages on the way
- Selected graphic novels
- Chatting with your favorite story characters
- Stories adapted into full, immersive series that feature chat fiction, visual effects, haptic feedback, and sound
As readers engage with your story, you’ll receive instant feedback through reader comments and star ratings on each chapter. Unique tools available only on GALATEA provide more opportunities for your readers to remain engaged with your story long after they’ve finished the last chapter!
Our goal is to keep avid readers hungry for more, and storytelling has never been more exciting than on GALATEA.
How does the GALATEA publishing process work?
Once you sign a publishing contract with us, our publishing team offers you a guiding hand throughout the entire process. Here is what your journey to becoming a published GALATEA author will look like:
The GALATEA publishing team will edit and format your story and schedule a release date. Your story will then be announced on the Coming Soon page in the app, where readers can sign up to receive an alert once your story is released.

How Much Money Can I Earn with GALATEA?
Top authors have earned up to five figures per royalty cycle from publishing their work on our app. And with how fast GALATEA is growing, authors with published stories are seeing their royalties increase every month.

I got new readers who invested their time into my stories on GALATEA to the extent of them finding my Inkitt profile to read my other stories. GALATEA also provided me with information about how my readers take to my stories, something that I wasn’t as aware of before, and it makes me so happy to know people all over the world support me through GALATEA.”

I think other authors will agree with me here in that GALATEA is definitely one of those surprises. I never imagined my book being on a platform like this before, and it’s a beautiful thing to see it come to life with the soundtrack and sound effects. What this boils down to is a thank you to the GALATEA team on my behalf. I’m super amped to try and get more books onto Inkitt and hopefully onto GALATEA as well.”
