When you’re typing away at a story, curled up with a cup of coffee and a head full of characters, it’s hard to imagine that one day you might be standing on a set, watching actors bring your words to life.
But that’s exactly what’s happening for some of our incredible Inkitt authors. What started as a story uploaded on a whim—or a bold dream finally written down—is now a full-blown streaming series on CandyJar (formerly GalateaTV).
These shows aren’t just popular. They’re fan-favorites with millions of views, buzzing casts, and heart-filled scripts written by the very authors who started it all.
So what’s it like to go from keyboard to clapperboard? Let’s hear it straight from the stars of the stories—our authors.
From Phone to Film Set: S.S. Sahoo on The Arrangement
Watch Interview with S.S.Sahoo
S.S. Sahoo never expected that a story she wrote entirely on her phone would one day become a series. But that’s exactly what happened. At just 17 years old, she uploaded The Arrangement to Inkitt—and everything changed.
From the moment she stepped onto the set of the CandyJar adaptation, it hit her: her characters were real. Talking to the cast felt like talking to Xavier Knight himself—because, in her words, “Xavier is actually me.” The whole day felt surreal. “It was the best day of my life,” she said, overwhelmed with emotion. “The dream I had always seen—it came true.”
S.S. Sahoo found her voice in a moment of loneliness. What started as a way to cope became a life-changing career. Inkitt gave her the support, communication, and platform to share her story with millions. She even bought her first home through her writing.
Her advice to anyone with a story?
“Just write your thoughts down and publish it. Who are you waiting for?”
We’re proud to be part of her journey—and even prouder to bring The Arrangement to screen.
When Your Story Finds Its People: Charlotte Moore on Our Dirty Little Secret
When Charlotte Moore first uploaded Our Dirty Little Secret to Inkitt, she wasn’t expecting much—certainly not a TV adaptation.
But the story took off. Millions of readers fell in love. And now, Charlotte’s on the set of Our Dirty Little Secret, watching her characters come to life. Seeing the cast step into her characters brought tears to her eyes—it took her back to the time when she was writing the book.
Charlotte’s journey hasn’t always been smooth. She’s had offers from sketchy companies that didn’t have her best interests at heart. That’s why she chose Inkitt.
- Inkitt gave her creative control.
- Protected her story.
- And gave her the platform to reach millions—without compromising her voice.
Charlotte’s advice to writers?
Don’t be afraid of criticism. It’s how you grow.
We’re proud to help powerful voices like hers be heard—and even prouder to bring her story to screen.
A Streaming Hit: Susanne on The Tech Billionaire’s Assistant
.Next up? A childhood writer who turned a “what if” into a streaming sensation.
Susanne was just 10 years old when she realized she wanted to be a writer. She didn’t like how books or movies ended—so she started rewriting them in her head. Eventually, she decided to write her own stories from scratch.
One of those stories became The Tech Billionaire’s Assistant, a hit on Galatea that’s now a CandyJar series.
On set, surrounded by a cast she calls “better than I ever imagined,” Susanne is living the dream she sketched out as a child.
For her, Inkitt has been more than a publishing platform. It’s a partner:
A place to upload chapter by chapter—keeping her motivated and beating writer’s block
A team that involved her in every step—from formatting and editing to casting and production
A community where she could interact directly with Trendsetters, the readers who brought her story to life
Her advice for other writers?
“No matter how out there or crazy your idea sounds—go ahead and write that story.”
Because the most unbelievable ideas… might just end up on screen.
From Setbacks to Set Life: Christy Qualls on Billionaire’s Masquerade
And now, meet an author who never gave up—even when the path to success was anything but easy
Christy Qualls didn’t find success with her first novel. But she didn’t stop writing.
When she published Billionaire’s Masquerade on Inkitt, everything clicked. The story was picked up by Galatea almost immediately—and now, it’s being adapted into a CandyJar series.
For Christy, the journey has always been about the readers.
“They saw me through some hard times. They inspire me to keep going.”
That’s why Inkitt is her favorite platform:
The reader community is unmatched—supportive, passionate, and deeply connected to the stories
Inkitt protects her work—after having her writing stolen on other platforms, she found she could count on Inkitt to step in.
“All I have to do is reach out—I know Inkitt has my back.”
Today, Christy is standing on the set of her own story, seeing the world she created come to life. And it all started with the right platform—and the right people—to believe in her.
