Blurb:

Welcome to CommunityHub!

The value of community profiles is unmissable on Wattpad. The aim of this initiative is to grow your community profile with a bigger support structure and thus gain it more exposure.

This offers each profile an opportunity to reach a wider audience and to collaborate on various engagement initiatives.

The Community Hub is made especially for the community, with two main goals in mind;

1) We want to boost community profiles.

2) We want to provide the community with a resource to find the best and most recommended community profiles.

Why Recommended:

It's a profile run and managed by regular folk that hosts various engaging activities. These community profiles may vary from book clubs, awards, graphics services, reviews, beta-readers, creative writing, e-zines, anthologies...pretty much whatever.

To find out more please refer to our Guidebook. To see the profiles that form part of the Hub please check out 'The Community Hub' to see what they have to offer.

Sky's Pick: Distortion by LailaLiliana

Blurb: When Ariella discovers a peculiar clinic offering to replace memories, she has to decide whether she should face the reality of her abusive relationship or simply forget it.

→ ❉ ←

Ariella's relationship with her boyfriend is a rollercoaster. When it's good, it's great, but when it's bad, it's hell. After a fight escalates further than it ever has, she comes across a flyer for a peculiar new clinic in town. They offer to seamlessly implant artificial memories as a way to remember experiences without ever having lived them.

Though advertised for entertainment purposes, Ariella sees this as a quick fix to replace the low point in her relationship. But the man behind the new procedure never meant for it to be used in place of recovery.

In Ariella's mind, why work to recover from something when you can just erase it?

CONTENT WARNING: This book contains some mature language and brief domestic violence.

Why Recommended: This is a story from our very own team member. Her story centers around domestic abuse. I found the story intriguing because I believe Laila does an amazing job at portraying domestic abuse/violence and the mental effects that can come with it. Not only does she portray a realistic situation, but she also doesn't romanticize it which happens a lot in stories on Wattpad. I think this is a great work to check out because of the message presented.
