The online reading world was shaken this week with the news that Radish Fiction will officially wind down operations by the end of 2025. After nearly a decade of empowering authors to publish serialized fiction and build loyal readerships, Radish will shut its doors, leaving many writers wondering: What’s next for my stories and my readers?
At Inkitt, we want to say – our doors are wide open for you.
A Decade of Stories on Radish
Founded in 2015, Radish quickly became a hub for romance, fantasy, and young adult fiction. It wasn’t just a publishing app – it was a platform where authors could earn real income while retaining copyright, experiment with serialization, and reach devoted readers around the world.
From top-performing writers earning over $10,000 per month to countless emerging authors sharing their first chapters, Radish created a community built on creativity, passion, and storytelling freedom.
