Win & Get Published
Enter
your novel now!
Did you know that there is an easy way to promote your
novels for free and maybe win a
publishing deal at the same time?
How, you ask? Let's start from the top.
Can you imagine a world without Hogwarts? If J.K. Rowling's
manuscript had been left in the publisher's 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 hadn't
been for the eight-year-old daughter of an editor finding
the manuscript on her father's desk and falling in love
with it, Harry Potter might not have made it out of the
slush pile.
The editor accepted her, but told her to keep her day job -
Now she's 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 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 on your launch campaign (for each of your novels if
they are part of a series), 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 51%
royalties on print sales and 25% royalties on eBook sales.
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 July 31st. There are no entry
fees.
The only requirement: your novel must be 20k words or
more. If your novel is part of a series your chances of
getting published are even greater because you can build a
loyal audience and brand faster, thus maximising your
chances of earning a full-time income from your royalties.
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.
