Using AI to discover and publish potential hit novels from its global reading community.

Inkitt is the world’s first data-powered book publisher, operating as a data-driven publishing house focused on discovering commercially successful fiction. The company operates a proprietary app where thousands of authors submit original stories, creating a large, diverse library of content across genres like romance, fantasy, and sci-fi.

Inkitt's unique value is driven by its predictive algorithm, Galatea. This technology analyzes detailed reader engagement metrics—including reading speed, completion rates, and device interactions—to scientifically pinpoint stories with the highest potential for global success. This data-first system allows Inkitt to de-risk the publishing process and offer contracts to the most promising new authors.
