How do I get more reads, votes, and comments? If you find yourself asking that question, then I have some answers for you. What can you do to reach out to readers and potential readers? How can you encourage readers to comment and vote? What are all the different ways you can promote your stories? This #1 ranking guide is written by a Wattpad ambassador and especially geared for new Wattpad authors. Lots of tips, advice, and personal opinions await you - including everything thing I've done to promote my own Watty's finalist and winning stories - but only if you turn the page. Reader testimonial by @AyushiPandey-- 'I read your guide for Wattpad success when I first started writing my story last year in August, and now it has been an entire year when I stumbled upon it again. I just have to say, I loved reading it again, it has the best tips one can find (take it from me, I have read many, many guides here). Thank you so much for taking out your time to compile such an amazing book!' Reader testimonial by @suspishfishy-- 'I have to thank you again! As soon as I wrote a book that focused on what I wanted to write, instantly people started to read my books and give me feedback!' **THIS IS NOT A PLACE TO ADVERTISE YOUR STORY. This is where you'll find detailed instructions for the proper places to advertise and find readers. If you ask people to read your story here, your comment will be removed.** Thanks to @EnjxiiBlxck for the cover.

Are you just starting out or perhaps you've been on wattpad for a while but could still use some feedback? Maybe you'd like a shout-out? Or perhaps you want more followers? Then this book is just for you! In it I'll post the competitions I organize. Participate to get a chance to win a review on your book, a shout-out/recommendation or a follow. Some of the competitions will be reading ones (like the Halloween Specials) and some will be writing ones. I might even make a cover/banner competition for those of you who are creative in that area. One chapter equals one challenge. Each chapter will explain how to enter, what are the rules, deadlines and prizes and how many winners there will be. If you have questions, comment! If you like the idea of this book or a particular challenge, please vote! TIP: Add this book to your library or reading list so you'll know when a new contest is added.

This is a rock-hard guide to revising your first draft. As an editor and a writer, I can tell you that it will be a grueling process. This book provides support and motivation, as well as advice for getting to a final product you can be proud of. A list of topics to be covered in this book are: procrastination, dialogue, pace, characterization, motivation, conflict, unique plot, villains, protagonists and avoiding the cliches in both style and story. Punctuation and spelling are also addressed in this book, but to less of an extent. New articles will be added consistently until the book is complete. If you have any other questions about writing, just comment below and I'll answer as promptly as I can.
