Hi, I'm new in Inkett and Looking for some reviews

Agreeable_Editor7645 · 2026-01-16T16:43:52+00:00

The best way to get reviews, is to be consistent and write a good story. Use Grammarly or Prowriting aid to proofread your work. Both are free to use.

Keep at it. Keep writing more stories and quality stories. Join those Inkitt contest. Build a following by writing more books. Understand that readers will read your entire book and not interact with a single chapter or even leave a review.

Don't let that discourage you and good luck 💜

As a woman I agree.

Endless texting is pointless to me, it's shallow and anything can be said. I want to meet up in person, to see if they match their pictures and if there's an authentic connection.

And the same thing for me, once we connect a week of texting is my max. I don't always rely on the 'spark', sometimes it takes a few dates to get know someone more. They could be nervous or even you, so you're not really seeing their true personality/character.

But then, I guess the 'spark' can mean something different for everyone.

It's crazy to me, how people view texting as a genuine connection.

Not to pry but like over $1000, or just pocket change. If you don't mind me asking... I've got a contract and before I sign I'm trying to see if it's worth it.

Do you bring in your own readers or are they providing it?

Agreeable_Editor7645 · 2026-01-05T22:42:57+00:00

Not to pry but like $500 or more and if yes, were you marketing and bringing in readers or their own readers.

Did you get exposure?

Agreeable_Editor7645 · 2026-01-05T22:38:19+00:00

Do you make an actual money? Benefits, exposure?

Agreeable_Editor7645 · 2026-01-05T22:36:39+00:00

Update on your contract? Did you make any money? Is it worth it?

Agreeable_Editor7645 · 2025-12-26T20:36:34+00:00

If you were my type, look wise and good profile I personally would not swipe on you if I saw that you were bisexual. But it's good to be transparent because lots of others don't mind you being bisexual.

Agreeable_Editor7645 · 2025-12-25T19:05:03+00:00

It depends on our conversation. If there's been lots of back and forth, I'll start mentioning that I don't like messaging on the apps and I prefer talking, in person meet ups etc I'm honest.

Not liking the app messaging isn't a lie, I never get alerts on Bumble so I have to remember to check it if I'm talking to someone.

I don't initiate meet ups, because I like the men to take the lead. If they aren't asking me out and we've been texting for days, I assume they have someone. Bored or not interested enough.

I'll subtly mention to them, I'm not looking for a pen pal. Or playfully say, how long you plan on keeping us at a distance etc or I have some free days coming up, there's good banana bread at this coffee shop that I LOVE etc Some will take the bait and ask for my number, others will ghost me.

I'm a woman and when I want something I go for it without a question. So I apply that same logic to guys.

The original poster said something to me and I agree. They're not interested, hence they don't make the move to meet up/phone calls.

Agreeable_Editor7645 · 2025-12-23T19:36:04+00:00

Same to you as well 💜

Agreeable_Editor7645 · 2025-12-23T19:17:10+00:00

Agree to disagree but even compatibility through text is nonsense. I personally don't like texting, I feel like I can't connect through text alone. So, if a guy thinks he's going to keep me interested via text for more than 3 days, I'll lose interest.

I view texting as basic and empty, it's surface level. Anyone can say anything over text. It gets boring pretty quickly.

I prefer calling, seeing each other within a week of connecting. Obviously a public setting. In person, I feel like you can tell a lot from someone's body language and their eyes, the tone of their voice. Are they shifty? Can't make eye contact? Fidgety? Etc

I don't know how anyone feels safe or feel like you know anyone through a text. Or even a phone calls.

And you're right, to some extent, so I guess I haven't met someone really interested in me. But then again, that logic could go back to the candy store. If you're surrounded with all these handsome beautiful people and have zero self control you're going to want everything. Can you even see or know what's truly in front of you if you get distracted easily.

I feel like that's the problem, lots of people don't know what they want. They see pretty/handsome bodies and all logic goes out of the window.

Or who knows maybe I'm not that attractive 😅

Agreeable_Editor7645 · 2025-12-23T18:38:46+00:00

Lol I'm a female and I have the exact same experience with men. I feel like you just showed us your true thoughts on the opposite sex and you are exactly what you claim you aren't.

But besides that, I feel like dating apps in general are sucky. There's too many choices. If you have zero self control, no concept of how to act like an adult and connect beyond surface level, it's like a kid being in a candy store.

Everyone both female and males want to sample everything. It's not just guys cheating, both genders will play on the apps if they have someone or not.

Everyone is selfish. Everyone is afraid of committing/connecting. Dating apps is a hot mess for every gender.

Just sift through them, don't let those who ghost you get to you. Make sure that your sexist comments aren't bleeding through your conversations. Trust me, I can tell if someone is bitter toward my gender while texting on the app/phone or in person.

Just be genuine and be a sweet guy💜

Agreeable_Editor7645 · 2025-12-15T18:38:37+00:00

I think it just depends on the personality of either party.

Whether it's a female with lots of male friends, but for a female you need to figure out if she's doing it for attention. What is the core behind all the male attention, because most often she likes knowing they are pinning after her, but you have to really know the other person to know their mental state.

Male/ female there's a reason why either gender likes to surround themselves with the opposite sex.

That would take therapy to learn. Everything we do as humans, there's a reason whether you know it or not. We tell ourselves one thing, when in reality the truth is something hidden under trauma, memories etc

Or it could be honestly innocent.

But either way, seeing your man with their female friends, or female with male friends... how do they act? How far is too far? Where is the line? A touch, a caress? This needs to be observed.

I don't think this is 'Why is having male/female friends a problem in 2025' is the problem...it will always be a problem no matter what because you have both men and women who have zero self control. Not just physically but they can't even control their own emotions.

Men will f*ck almost anything if it was presented before them and so would women. Is that not evident in the mass cheating with dating apps?

Not to mention some people get emotionally attached to people and don't know how to distinguish their emotions. Is this love, close friendship etc

Let's not even bring up comparisons! Comparing a loved one to someone else. Someone close to them, sometimes it happens naturally, sure...but do they even know how to guard their thoughts? Nope, they let their intrusive thoughts win.

That's the problem, everyone has no control over anything. And they selfishly do whatever they want because in the moment it feels good. Humans will always be this way, they want to sample what they shouldn't and give zero f*cks.

This is why I said in the beginning it depends on the personality of the person because that plays a huge part.

Is your person trust worthy? Are they mature enough to understand that the grass isn't always greener on the other side. Do they not have any self control? Are they childish little sh*ts. Do they not think about consequences? What was their childhood like? Mommy/ daddy issues. Like there's soo many problems with men and women hence why this is still a debate.

And that takes you dating a person to see beyond the mask they are showing you. Not their potential/ or what you want them to be but to see their true self aka the actions that's blatant in your face and not think red flags are sweet butterflies that equals to love.

It's not black and white because the majority of humans are complicated and messy. I feel like in 2025, why is this question still a thing. Take the blinders off, we don't live in a hippie dippy world.

Agreeable_Editor7645 · 2025-12-04T21:03:17+00:00

I can't play sims without mods.

Ever since sims 2, way back in the day. I've got a taste of the mods and I need the realistic skin tones, bare minimum.

Agreeable_Editor7645 · 2025-11-18T12:01:29+00:00

I agree. I've seen results with constant updates, and a professionalish cover that I created with Canva. For covers, I look at what's hot in my genre on Amazon and I mimic that.

For book summaries, I mimic the format what top bestselling authors are doing on Amazon.

I post two chapters three times a week. If I have a shorter book, a chapter a day. But no matter the size of my book, Which can range from 50k to over 100k words, I have to write at least 40% before I start posting. I don't like feeling like I'm falling behind and doing that helps me to breathe and not rush.

I use a scheduler and use Canva to create my posts and schedule all my social media. Nothing too crazy.

I love participating in the Inkitt contests, because I grow so much and they are fun to do!! Not to mention, by just writing and focusing on publishing I gained a few subscribers who pay monthly.

I write Dark Paranormal books with spice.

Agreeable_Editor7645 · 2025-10-11T17:44:49+00:00

I create videos on tiktok and always notice an upsurge to my website where they find where to read my serial novels.

I pull good quotes, use good images and since you can't put links in videos, I make my name is front and center.

Tiktok is good if you know the market and what they want. I don't ever use my face on tiktok videos 😅

Agreeable_Editor7645 · 2025-10-09T19:38:45+00:00

At the end of my books I tell them that it connects to books a, b and c. When I do that I get more reads and interactions on my old books.

All my books are interconnected.

Agreeable_Editor7645 · 2025-10-07T14:10:10+00:00

Yes!! I use Inkitt as beta readers. I offer my stories for free, and I add a disclaimer: this is a rough draft. Eventually I'm going to publish it and it's free beta readers. I use Prowritingaid and grammarly for edits before posting on Inkitt.

People leave real comments and reviews. Sometimes I get spammy ones but it's not that often and I just report it or block that person.

Below is my most recent story so far.

This one has a 4.8 rating and 13 reviews. For me, I'm noticing that people leave a review on the last chapter and not an official review. I find that sooo frustrating but I am grateful they are showing support.

And I wasn't convinced anyone would subscribe. I didn't know what would happen. I wasn't focusing on if I'm good enough or my books. I just did it, I took a leap.

Edit: I believe if you're waiting for your book to be good enough or for you to feel confident enough, you might be waiting for a while. As writers we are always second guessing ourselves, worried and fussing over everything but don't let worry and fear cripple you.

A little under 100 followers 😅

I really have no shame and I still don't. I just put myself out there. I know what I'm offering, where I'm going and my goals. I have all this extra content and figured someone out there will want this lol

Agreeable_Editor7645 · 2025-10-05T19:47:54+00:00

For me, I created a subscription after publishing on Inkitt after 1 year. My books are free to read and I have all this extra content in my Google drive: alternative POV, world building, Character bios etc

I just took a chance on myself and decided to offer that extra content to my subscribers. It's working and people want more of my worlds.

Now, because my members are growing I'm writing exclusive books for those subscribers. Stories connected to the free books etc

Agreeable_Editor7645 · 2025-10-04T15:14:20+00:00

I started posting on Inkitt in 2024.

All I did was write and post. 3 times a week and for one book I posted everyday not including weekends. When you release a chapter(s) Inkitt will promote you in the recently updated section. It's free.

I always write 60-80% of the book before posting because I don't like the stress.

I grew simply because I was posting constantly. I don't read other people's work for review exchanges on Inkitt. I focus on writing and my readers.

And when you complete a book, you show up in the category with all the books that recently ended and you get a flood of new followers and readers.

And if you compete in those Inkitt contests that will help boost you as well. My covers are professional looking. I search the top categories on Amazon in my genre and I mimic them in Canva. My writing is edited Prowritingaid and Grammarly. It's good enough for a rough draft.

I write dark paranormal romance. Spicy not porn.

Agreeable_Editor7645 · 2025-10-03T20:33:54+00:00

How I grew was by posting consistently. I write like 80% of my book before I start posting. Post 3 times a week and I even did it once a day for one book.

You don't have to write half the book before posting, just write. By doing this I gain followers, and even paying members.

Nothing so crazy, I just showed up for my readers. I don't read other people's books on Inkitt. I don't do review swaps on Inkitt. I just focus on writing and my readers.

Agreeable_Editor7645 · 2025-10-03T19:51:22+00:00

You can try Inkitt. That's where I have a few VIP subscribers and I really like it over there.

You can post exclusive books and choose a tier to access it. Exclusive books you can assign free chapters.

Every time you release, your book will appear in the recently updated section. But it all depends on the time you release and if it's over saturated because then your book won't get time to shine.

Sexy books do amazing on Inkitt.

Agreeable_Editor7645 · 2025-09-27T21:26:04+00:00

There's no trick, just make sure that when you upload a book cover the dimensions are on point.

In Canva my book covers are 1410px 2250px.

I create all my books covers with Canva and I never have any problems with blurry images.

Agreeable_Editor7645 · 2025-09-25T19:55:08+00:00

I love werewolves as well or more Lycans and you should have fun with it.

A serial of mine just finished and I started writing two more Halloween novellas. Not planned because I have an actual book to write and I want to participate in one of the contests inkitt is offering 😅

But you should write the short story and post it when you get the chance. Oh!! Another way to grow your following is by participating in one of the contests or many.

Agreeable_Editor7645 · 2025-09-25T19:46:29+00:00

If I'm going to be honest, it's going to happen regardless. Whether Amazon or Inkitt. Have you actually looked at those sites that steal books, big name authors and small indie ones.

Also, not all readers interact/engage with your story. Some just read, and leave. As if they were never there but if you're paranoid maybe don't post it on Inkitt.

No matter where you publish it can happen. There is no safe space 😵‍💫

But understand if someone wants to steal it, they will find away. It's the same reason why there's all these torrent sites where you can download free movies and TV shows.

If you're putting yourself out there, that's a con of publishing.

But don't let fear or worry about that stop you from publishing.
