Telling your story the way you want to tell it; It’s a challenge every writer faces.
Whether you’re talking about the institutional gate-keeping standards of traditional publishing or the restrictions imposed by digital platforms and distributors, somebody is always trying to cramp your style and distort your vision.
But not Inkitt.
Tell your story as you envisioned it.
Gore, violence, smut, kinks, and taboos? We’ve got your back.
Wholesome slice-of-life, non-fiction, or children’s stories? We’ve got you covered there too.
And anything in between.
Write about whatever you want (as long as it’s not illegal), Inkitt is the place for you.
The best stories rarely stem from the accepted platitudes of polite society or political correctness.
Sometimes, to tell an interesting story, you have to be willing to break the mold and get weird.
Read on to learn more about the power of uncensored expression with Inkitt’s writing platform!
So, what can you do with Inkitt that you can’t do anywhere else?
1. Use Censorship-Free Writing to Amplify and Empower Your Voice
Increasingly, readers crave authenticity and unvarnished humanity.
People want stories that ring true and resonate with them. They want your authentic story and self to shine on the page.
When you have to navigate through editors and content restrictions, this can become difficult.
Writers often find themselves forced to compromise their vision just to have the chance to reach an audience.
At Inkitt, we want your raw, unfiltered vision. Tell us the story you want to tell the world.
With no censors on your back, you can deliver your message and find your audience through direct interaction with Inkitt’s built-in reader base!
2. Celebrate Your Creativity with Kinky Romance, Smut, or Taboos.
Enjoy unrestricted creativity with Inkitt.
This isn’t to say that your story won’t change and evolve over time.
Of course it will! That’s what re-drafting and audience feedback are for!
But on Inkitt’s censorship-free platform, you can refine your story and hone your craft without betraying your vision.
You’ll be able to find the happy medium between the story you want to tell and the iteration of your story readers connect with most.
And all without prudish censors turning their noses up at you!
3. Boost Your Content’s Impact in a Censorship-Free Environment
It’s a peculiarity of the times that we live in a world where information and literature are more available than ever before while book banning is also increasingly on the rise.
Freedom of thought and expression are fundamental human rights.
Without them, seminal works like Toni Morrison’s The Song of Solomon or Brett Eason Ellis’s American Psycho might never have seen the inside of a bookstore or library.
Indeed, there are still libraries where neither of these books are welcome.
With Inkitt, you don’t have to worry about this. Your story’s reach and impact are as vast as the internet itself, available to anyone who wants to engage with your unique vision.
4. Find a Safe Haven for Inclusivity and Diverse Perspectives
Before writers even have the opportunity for a snooty editor to tell them why their work is wrong, they first have to find a publisher.
And the thing with publishers is that they tend to specialize.
They work within select genres, tick a few boxes, and chase a few trends.
And if your story doesn’t tick the publishers’ boxes, getting them to give it a shot can be a brutal slog.
As a result of this, publishers, authors, and readers all miss out because art doesn’t come from ticking boxes or chasing trends.
It comes from genuine expression, experimentation, and diversity of thought and perspective.
Boxing out people who have unconventional ideas and views makes the world smaller and reductive, which is the opposite of what literature is supposed to do.
Literature is supposed to broaden horizons, exposing people to thoughts they’ve never had and experiences they’ve never lived.
Connecting with diversity of thought makes us all more human.
At Inkitt, we want to hear the stories informed by multitudes of differing perspectives and lived experiences.
We don’t just want stories that fit neatly into a single category and tackle familiar themes.
We also want stories that defy categorization and deal with wild, complex, or difficult ideas.
At Inkitt, you, the author, have a safe haven for your ideas, whether they’re as mild as a summer breeze or as wild as a raging tempest.
Inkitt’s a big tent with room for everyone.
5. Build Community Through Trust and Transparency
At Inkitt, you get to be real.
A real person. Your real self. Not a carefully curated publisher-owned brand.
The real you is the brand.
With Inkitt’s platform, you are uniquely poised to build a community around your oeuvre. You can connect and interact with your readers directly.
You aren’t a nebulous figure whose story and self are viewed through the murky lens of publisher-controlled engagement.
You are a real person interacting with other real people. You have written something that they have read and enjoyed.
Many writers dream of the ability to connect directly with fans of their work.
And the reverse is true; many readers want to connect with the people who produce the stories they love.
Real people want to connect with other real people.
That is what we at Inkitt want for you.
You tell the story you want to tell to people who want to hear it, and you build your community together.
That’s what Inkitt offers. We want to connect the authentic you to the readers who genuinely want the stories that belong to you and only you.
Inkitt’s pledge of transparency and trust to you, our community of writers to whom we owe everything, is that you tell the stories you want to tell to the people you want to tell them to and that those stories belong to you.
If you want to profit from them, you can do so through our subscription program. We don’t see a dime of that.
It’s yours.
Why?
Because your success is our success. Every community you build makes Inkitt’s community bigger.
Without you, none of this would be possible.
We haven’t forgotten that.
It is the foundation of our company now and will continue to be so in the future.
So What Are You Waiting For?
Everyone has a story to tell, and that includes you! Our pact with you is that we will provide the space for you to write your unfiltered story and be your authentic self.
But you have to do your part! Write that story! Be that self!
