Hey!
The coolest thing happened earlier this week! I got invited on Twitter to enter a contest! First time that’s happened, and I’m honored!
Went through some short stories and found a favorite. Just uploaded it to the site today. If you have time, please give it your vote and share the link.

Inkitt contacted me out of the blue about this contest as well, with an almost spammy personal message on Reddit. I checked out their site and contest, but the total lack of any information about their rights to works submitted was a huge red-flag to me. You’re the second person I’ve encountered today posting about Inkitt and their contest, so I think they are working hard with targeted marketing of their site.
I’d advise caution. I don’t think a chance at winning a $40 Amazon card and a few printed copies of my story that I could make myself at Stapes is worth much risk.
I checked them out pretty thoroughly before submitting the story. Didn’t find anything I considered a red flag, to be honest. But I did vet them a bit. And checked with a few industry sources about them. Granted, I don’t expect great quality in the printed copies should I win, but I’m willing to go with the exposure.
