r/Inkitt

I've been serializing an urban fantasy/romance novel on Inkitt for a little over two months now, and I just completed the story two nights ago. While it was added to a handful of collections when it was ongoing, the number of people adding it to their reading lists has blown up since I marked it complete. I'm impressed! On other sites it seems like discoverability goes down once your story is complete.

This has been a great experience for me. I'm definitely going to come back to Inkitt with my next story.

Are there any stories where the main focus is the mystery/thriller? So romance being just a subplot or non-existent. You can also recommend your own story. Thansk! 🙏

Hey! I run a small Discord server focused on art and writing, and I’m looking to bring in more artists.

Writers and artists naturally work well together so there’s a lot of room for inspiration, character design, scene building, and sharing ideas across both. We’ve started doing weekly art prompts, and I’m trying to build a group where people actually post regularly and improve over time.

If that sounds like something you’d be into, let me know and I’ll send the invite.

Hey guys, I want to know how you approach the 10k word limit to make your books more visible in the app? Do you publish them all at once? I usually dont get too many readers until I hit the word count.

It is an incredible feeling to finally have a reader that wasn't a bot or scammer but a real person who actually enjoyed my work and found my stuff on their own. Just wanna say I feel grateful for Inkitt, even though the site could crack down better on AI stuff and bots.

I am writing and posting my chapter in german and english, and I just noticed that the books which I had written in english were translated to german. The comments and so on stayed in english. Is it cause I have changed the language in the setting?

Sooo should I post my books in only one language from now on?

Summary:

Teresia knows sleeping with the pastor's son is a terrible idea.

In 1984, eighteen-year-old Teresia is stuck at The Well Fellowship with her mother and stepfather, surrounded by people who mistake obedience for virtue and gossip for concern. She knows how to play along when she has to. She knows how to stay quiet. What she does not know is how to stop wanting Charles Connors.

Charles is the pastor's son. Beautiful, experienced, and far too used to getting away with things, he comes with a reputation Teresia understands immediately. He is the last person she should get involved with and the first person who makes her feel fully seen. What begins in secrecy turns into something deeper, more dangerous, and harder to contain.

As their relationship intensifies, the walls around Teresia begin closing in. The church is watching. Charles's family already has their doubts about her. A secretive writing group offers the possibility of another life, but even there, jealousy and gossip have teeth. Every choice she makes pulls her further from the version of herself everyone wants, and closer to the one she might have to destroy everything to become.

Set against the heat and pressure of a Southern church town, Teresia is a dark coming-of-age romance about desire, power, shame, obsession, and the cost of wanting freedom more than forgiveness.
