r/Inkitt

Two rival bakeries. One street. Zero self-control.

Rhea is running on caffeine, chaos, and sheer stubbornness as she fights to keep her dream bakery alive. The last thing she needs is competition.

Then Cameron opens a sleek, high-end bakery directly across the street... and starts a sign war that turns their rivalry into a tourist attraction. He’s arrogant. Cold. Rich.

And watching her like he’s starving.

She hates him. He can’t stop coming back.

But when a $500,000 bake-off requires contestants to be a real couple, they make a deal: fake date, win the money, destroy each other later.

Rules are written. Boundaries are set. Then the touching starts. The tension goes viral. And the cameras catch the moment they stop pretending.

Because the truth is simple: The only thing more dangerous than her competition... is wanting him.

Hey everyone, I‘m from Germany, so naturally I Write my Stories in German and also have them translated into english withe the help of AI.

I was wondering if there are and people here from German-speaking countries as well. I‘d be really happy to connect with you :)

I don't know if Inkitt's team still reads through this sub. I keep seeing new writers on Inkitt asking the same questions in groups and on reddit. I think there should be pop ups of some kind for people who just signed up. They need to know the basics of how the platform works, instead of assuming they'll find the FAQs hidden on the website.

For example:

• Your story has to reach 10K words to start showing up on the Recently updated list within 24 hours.

• Once you mark your story as complete it will be on the completed list for a while and your story will get a bump in readers.

• The platform rewards consistency and engagement. Stories that update frequently have a greater chance of visibility before completed compared to stories with all the chapters submitted in one go.

If anyone would like to add anything, please do so. I love the platform but there's some basic things that could easily be improved for new writers.

My first book was an erotic thriller with heavy themes and a generally melancholic tone. I decided to test the waters and write a "slice of life" style story this time, but I think light narratives aren't my cup of tea. I'm experiencing major writer's block because I'm unsure of what to do. Has this ever happened to you?

I don't want to drop the book and stop publishing it, so I'd like to hear about the experiences of other writers who have gone through this and what they did.

Any recommendations on good but free AI checkers? Was going to post parts of a new novel that is a WIP and noticed in the settings on Inkitt they ask you to declare if you used AI at all. I used AI for three scenic descriptions in my completed Novel on Inkitt and wanted to just check. Tried that stupid JustOnce which told me my book was 97% AI!!!! TIA

Is anyone else having problems with their stories being translated to other languages? My story is M/M but I keep getting comments from Spanish-speaking readers that my pronouns are wrong. I even downloaded my whole manuscript and did a find for female pronouns, and none were used in the wrong place. My book has been up for over a year and this issue seems to have started a few weeks ago.

Just posted my first 10 chapters of a story I did on Wattpad and finally decided to put it on Inkitt.
