Inkitt
empowers readers and publishers to discover world’s next best
sellers
In
less than 2 years from launch, Inkitt has attracted over 700,000
unique readers: the iOS app will give book lovers and publishers
greater access to Inkitt’s digital library of over 80,000 stories
by up-and-coming authors.
BERLIN, NOVEMBER 16, 2016: Inkitt, the world’s first algorithm-based book publisher, is introducing an iOS app for iPhone and iPad available to readers globally today.
“As
more people read digitally we want to make it easier and faster for
people to access great literature wherever they are, whether on the
go or relaxing at home,” says Inkitt’s Founder and CEO, Ali
Albazaz. “Inkitt’s iOS app will better enable emerging authors to
share their work with test readership groups and give readers
globally the opportunity to turn the page on one of the world’s
next best sellers.”
Key features include:
- Access to 80,000 stories in every genre: fantasy, sci-fi, romance, thriller, horror, adventure, action and more
- Personalized suggestions: hand-picked novels based on reader’s preferences
- App customization according to user preferences (e.g. font size, colors)
- Online/Offline: readers can save novels to their offline library to access them without an internet connection
Beyond
being a platform connecting authors and readers, Inkitt has developed
an in-house algorithm that analyzes reading behavior to determine if
a novel has the potential to become a bestseller. Using this unique
data-driven approach, Inkitt aims to help emerging writers achieve
their dreams of getting published by becoming a point of reference
for publishers looking to uncover the world’s next best sellers.
Back
in April, Inkitt announced the signing of the platform’s first
algorithm-chosen novel, Bright
Star, a Young
Adult fantasy novel written by Texan author Erin Swan and signed for
publication with Tor Books. Since July, Inkitt has published another
3 novels: Catalyst
Moon: Incursion
by Lauren L. Garcia (Fantasy),
Just
Juliet by
Charlotte Reagan (YA
Romance) and I
Was A Bitch
by Emily Ruben (YA
Romance Mystery). Both
Just Juliet
and I Was A Bitch
became bestellers in their respective categories upon launch.
Inkitt’s
iOS app was released in beta in Australia and Canada earlier this
year and is now available for download globally here

On the surface, Inkitt is a platform where budding writers can share their novels and inquisitive readers can unearth fresh content.

Using this unique data- and readers-driven approach to uncover highly addictive stories, Inkitt’s goal is to remove the middle person so that a blockbuster book is never rejected by a publishing house again. In other words, if readers love it, Inkitt publishes it.
