Congratulations!

                          
You have finally made it to the "big time," the spotlight for The Next Big Recognition, the best writing community that Wattpad has to offer.

                          
By now, you've realized that #NBR reviewers are simply amazing. Many of these individuals put a lot of time and effort into their reviews to help make a contribution to the spotlighted author's work and writing.

                          
These two weeks you will receive a series of recommendations, editorial support, and other commentaries. On average, you might get 20 or more reviews which can range as much as, or more than, 25,000 words. (Yeah, that's a lot.) So, the whole process can be a little overwhelming.

                          
We (a group of #NBR Triple Crown Reviewers + friends) have created some guidelines that will make your spotlight round spectacular! As committed reviewers, we drew from our experiences of being spotlighted and of writing reviews. We hope our strategies and suggestions are helpful as you prepare for your big weeks.

                          
Check List: What to Do Before Your Spotlighted Round

                          
#1. Prepare your chapter for review

                          
Okay, you just got the PM from the moderators that says your spotlighted round is coming up. Don't panic! This is all going to be a good experience. Remember, you've been waiting for this moment to shine. Here are some strategies:

                          
✔️Write up a good description:

                          
The moderators will send you a Google Docs link to create your submission. Please type your submission here. There will also be an area at the bottom for your winners list to be completed after your round ends (and not before).

                          
Use the description and summary posted on the previous #NBR rounds as a model to create your own write-up.
