By submitting your manuscript (story) for consideration as mentee for the Wattys 2020 Bootcamp, applicants must observe the following rules and their manuscripts must meet ALL of the eligibility criteria below:
👇🏼 👇🏼 👇🏼
1) You must be at least 13 years or older.
2) Your manuscript must be complete.
3) You must intend to submit the same manuscript to the Wattys.
4) Your manuscript must contain at least 50,000 words. For anything shorter, check out the PunkPairs Mentorship Program, hosted by the PrettyInPunkBookClub .
5) Your manuscript must fit in the following categories:
Fanfiction, Fantasy, Historical Fiction, Horror, Paranormal, Literary Fiction, Mystery & Thriller, New Adult, Romance, Science Fiction, Young Adult.
No other categories will be accepted since those will also not be eligible for Wattys submission, so please don't ask.
6) Your story must have been posted to Wattpad after January 1, 2017.
7) For the moment, only manuscripts written in English will be accepted. However, if we find mentors who are comfortable mentoring in another language, they will indicate this in their wish list.
8) The manuscript has to be your own.
9) Your manuscript has to be exclusive to Wattpad and has to be fully available under your profile.
10) Your manuscript must be written to the best of your ability, with spelling and grammar editing complete
11) Only one manuscript per mentee.
12) You will only be able to submit to a maximum of three mentors, so choose wisely. I will also post the total number of applicants for each mentor daily during the submission window to offer you the opportunity to increase your chances to be picked.
13) You have to be willing to commit working on your manuscript in the time frame of June 1st to August 31. Remember, all mentors donate their time without compensation, so please treat them courteous at all times and abide by agreed deadlines. We all have lives outside of Wattpad, so value each other's time and keep communication open if you ever struggle to keep on top of your work.
14) Manuscripts cannot have won a Watty before (but it's okay if they were previously submitted)
15) Mentees agree to wait to submit their stories to the Wattys until their work with their mentor is completed. An earlier submission will only be allowed if the submission window to the Wattys is moved forward.
