Add unpopular books
Inkitt if you ever see this message please add books that are less known. It will be fair if beginner author books can be seen without going through and searching. Thank you so much! 😊💖

Voice read
Having a vocal option to read the story would help single mothers that are dealing with their kids be able to read just like me and also would help people that are walking jogging or doing anything. This would make it easier for people to read or listen and that way they still to read stories that they love

Ideas and questions
Hi, is it possible to filter so you can only see the books that are completed? I dont like books that aren't finished yet. Sorry.
Also i wanted to ask if its possible to block certain books or themes. Like horror. I dont like it, other people do. Thats okay. But i rather not see books of horror while scrolling through the lists. Just wanted to knoe if its possible. Would make my searching much happier. Also the search is quite wide.. Like.. There is so much to choose from, its overwhelming. It would be nice if you could just…17 votes -

Formatting
Hey there INKITT Team!
This has already been posted a while ago by someone else but has been ignored as far as I can tell. I'll add their suggestions down below because I think this is part of many things Inkitt needs to do now in order to become competitive.
I've fairly recently grown active on your platform and was wondering if you could enhance or add the feature for us to format our text?
To me, and for my book at least, it is important that I can align some text to the center, and other parts to the…

WORD COUNT
Would it be possible to add a word count under the summary, where it states the genre, author, reviews section? I know you can see your word count when you edit the book but I think this would be really helpful to give readers an idea of the length of the novel.

Author and Reader Connection
I think we should have a limit of 1,000 words for our description on our profile... 200 just doesn’t do it, I want to say so much yet I can’t. A reader’s connection to an author is very important and vise versa, we need to have more space to express ourselves on our profile.

please make this site able to center the text
The story I'm currently writing needs a text to be in the center of the page so this way it can be what I want. I'd appreciate if you can do this
Thank you,
UnknownDiggerP.S. please make this site able to have indentions for paragraphs, that would be lovely.

Allow bookmarks or marker
It would be great to place a marker where I stopped reading. When I return to finish the story I could easily find where I exited.

Additional text formatting (centering, paragraph indentations, etc.)
I suggest opening up the formatting options to allow authors to use centred text and to have paragraph indentations as an additional option to further customise readability.
Before an admin says "this 'may distort the readability of the piece across devices'," you can make these changes optional or restricted.
Centring could be restricted to subtitles (often used to denote jumps in time/ space or to add a mood-setting quote at the beginning of the chapter) and small passages (for poems, author’s notes etc.). I know there's nothing worse than seeing an entire chapter centred so Inkitt could introduce character limits…

Have Winners For Major Genre Categories Each Month
I find it a bit discouraging that pretty much all the winners of these contests have been romances. I understand that this is based on your algorithm but there could at least be winners for other genres too, you even used to have four winners each month and now it's down to one. Why can't one winner be thriller while another can be fantasy? Maybe even just dedicate each month as a specific genre?

My book cover won't stay centered. I already have a design I tried to upload but EVERY TIME on ALL OF MY BOOKS it leaves half the cover off.
It won't let me upload my book cover correctly. It shows that it's centered, and when I go to save it, it shows that my book cover is half white and half what I actually saved. It's done this on both of my stories which is disappointing, Why would anyone want to read my work when they can't even clearly read the cover?

Differentiate between the blurb and the chapters
Differentiate between the blurb and chapters. Create a different section, don't let us jump rite into the chapters. we just want to see the description, not read the entire book at once. what's the purpose of adding it to your library if you have direct access to the chapters without selecting on them?

An eroctic tab in search topics
For instance I like to read fantasy books and I really like the ones with erotica in them . Like books by C.Swallow. So when I search for new books in your categories and you have 29 topics to choose from why not make erotica one?

Make it easier for mobile readers to be able to leave feedback.
At least 20+ people have contacted me to say they have been unable to leave feedback via mobile reading. This gives an unrealistic analytic view because I am not able to get feedback. I have 22 comments when I know I could have had nearer 50. Just something to think about for future changes.
Kind regards
Laura10 votesHi there,
we just released nested comments, so a second layer commenting on chapter comments for better communication and feedback giving.
We also work on an advanced community editing that should come live in the next 2 months which will enable readers but also peer authors to give clear and helpful feedback.

Request/Offer Constructive Criticism
Request/give upon request constructive criticism.
Reviews are great, but don't serve the same purpose and like every other rating system can be used as a popularity contest or revenge outlet. It would be nice to have the option to request constructive criticism (some authors may not be interested) and for readers to offer notes to those authors who make their manuscript open to this input without it being part of rating based system.10 votesHi there,
we are currently working on a concept for advanced community editing.
It will come in the next 2 months. So stay tuned and thank you very much for giving us this idea!

Feedback for Newly Started Books
I think it would be cool to have a category for stories that authors are just starting out with. Or maybe a space for authors to try out a new story and get feedback from readers to see if the story is worth continuing.
