Dan Brown shares with Wattpad users what influenced and inspired him as writer from a young age through to his professional career today.

In May 2013, as part of Bundaberg Writefest I attended a masterclass with Deonie Fiford, former commissioning editor at Harper Collins. This is all about what I learned about what Publishers want and how to stop getting endless rejection letters.

In November 2013, I started writing my novel, Summoner: The Novice on Wattpad. I reached 1 Million reads within 4 months and was featured on NBC news. I was offered representation by 6 agents and my trilogy was eventually sold in auctions all over the world. It will be translated into 11 languages and was published in May, 2015. One year later, Summoner: The Novice had over 5.5 Million reads. If you have ever wondered how it happened, look no further. This story details my journey from an amateur Wattpad writer to an internationally published author. *** the SUMMONER trilogy will be published in May 2015 by Hodder Children's (Hachette) in the UK, Australia and Commonwealth, Feiwel and Friends (Macmillan) in the US and Canada, Hachette Jeunesse in France, Heyne in Germany, Planeta in Spain, Crown in Taiwan and Record in Brazil. Book 1 will be published by EKSMO in Russia, Jaguar in Poland, Ecliptic in Bulgaria and Alpress in the Czech Republic.***

Writing a query letter is hard. This will make it a bit easier.

Warning: This book WILL make you successful on Wattpad! Are you an unknown author wanting to gain success on Wattpad? Tried everything and you're still unnoticed? Hi, I'm Mike Limjoco and I've done it all on Wattpad. I have hit a million reads on two of my books, and I've made it to the first page of the Hot List in five categories, including a dual #1 in Sci/Fi and Fantasy, two of Wattpad's toughest genres. I was also a finalist in the 2013 Watty Awards, and my book Kuro has been selected as a Featured Story on Wattpad where it was on the front page of Wattpad for a month. And I did it all in less than a year! This book has actually produced several #1 books from authors who were previously unknown. Don't believe me? Read the success stories and hear from fellow authors in this book! Read the comment sections to see actual case studies from other authors who have had success. Bottom line, this book works. Try it if nothing else has worked for you. You might just be surprised to find your book sitting on the first page of the Hot List ;)

"We are in the business of inspiration." How to Wattpad successfully. Sharing my hopefully unique insight, philosophies, thoughts and experience on success and gaining a following on Wattpad. A guide for writers who are ready to be serious about their craft. I am the pioneer of the English cell phone novel movement, featured Wattpad author of "Espresso Love", founder of @LiteraryFiction, kickstarter and event coordinator for Wattpad @TorontoMeetUp, web and graphic designer, multimedia collaborator and social media engagement activist and networker. http://takatsu.tk

There are hundreds of fantastic books about writing for hopeful authors to choose from, but most of them are boring, complicated, and bogged down by filler. This little book is brief, straight forward, and easy to understand. I hope it will serve as an easy-to-read manual to help serious writers perfect their craft. I should say right off the bat that I am NOT an expert; I forget my own tips all the time! However, I do know what generally works for me, so I thought I could pass it on to my friends at Wattpad. One last note: this book is for writers who have a basic understanding of grammar and story structure. If you’re interested in more fundamental steps you can take to write a great story, check out the companion to this book!
