Wattpad Originals: News & Updates

Wattpad Originals 101

Hi Wattpadders,

Bookmark this update for your 101 on Wattpad Originals, including how to read them for FREE! 

What are Wattpad Originals?

They're top-tier reads in a diverse range of genres written by Wattpad's hottest creators. With Wattpad Originals, you can enjoy guaranteed endings with no fear of story abandonment, be endlessly entertained with serialized hits, and feed your obsession with plotlines catered uniquely to your reading taste and favorite tropes. Whether you love dark romance in dark mode, heavenly hot encounters where he falls first and harder, spine-tingling werewolf reads, and more, the Wattpad Originals collection is here to satisfy all appetites.

There are two types of Wattpad Originals for you to dive into:

Completed Wattpad Original stories: Are you a power-reader who loves to binge through solid hits? Explore completed Wattpad Originals where all the Parts are already available for your late-night reading marathons. Paywalls are fixed on these stories, but you can try a few free Parts before you unlock more Parts or the full story with Coins. Don't forget, there's a discount for unlocking the whole story, so once you're ready to commit, we recommend going all in (we know that's how you like to read anyway 😉).

Ongoing Wattpad Original series: Want to read story updates in realtime as they're published alongside an engaged community of readers like you? Ongoing Wattpad Original series have multiple seasons and new Parts dropping up to a few times per week. These stories have only 10-15 paywalled Parts at any time. When new Parts drop, previously paywalled Parts becomes free. You can either wait to read more paywalled Parts for free as the story progresses, or skip the wait and binge right away with Coins - the choice is yours. Reading together as new Parts drop has its own magical vibe. Like a watch party for books!
