2016 was no doubt a wonderful year for us here at The Write Place, and of course, that wouldn't have been possible without each and every one of you reading this now. The year saw a 'failed attempt at a book club' grow into a profile with more than 1K followers in about 6 months of reopening and we can't say just how excited we are with the Watt-munity's support so far.
This Block Party, we'd like to share our 2016 In View.

Birthed from an urge to reach out to emerging writers across the Wattpad Community, The Write Place reopened in May 2016 with a handful of graphics and a notepad filled with plans and schedules scribbled in a mix of pen and pencil. To get things started, The Journal was launched- a place which weekly features "well planned activities setup to keep everyone engaged"- typically updated at least 4 times a week. To this day, The Journal has gathered over 11K views and has become a one stop center for folks looking to hone their writing skills.
From its inception, The Journal has featured 16 Monday #GetInspiredwriting tips, 10 book reviews and 17 Thursday #Hangout sessions with some of Wattpad's finest writers including Bestselling author Apryl Baker of The Ghost Files fame(optioned for movie adaptation) and had peaked at No. 9 on the Non-Fiction Hotlist.

As writers, the importance of conferences, retreats, workshops and other similar settings can't be overemphasizd. It's often a great avenue to meet a host of other writers and potential readers alike and also to improve in the art of storytelling.
