Genevieve Delora is chosen as the newest prophet for the royal family, which is a saving grace to her struggling family. What the royal family isn't aware of is that she's cursed to destroy the kingdom on the dawn of her seventeenth birthday and that her job at the palace may be her only hope in breaking the curse. Gen is immediately overwhelmed with tyrannical kings, political plans, and buried secrets among the royals, but she's running out of time. With the help of new friends in the castle (and some friends on the sea) including the "charming" and always silent prince and his friendlier sister, Genevieve seeks to track down an ancient map that leads to the staff of the gods- the only object that can prevent the curse and save the kingdom. However, there's a power greater than Olumia knows lurking in the shadows, and he's after the staff too. Is fate always set in stone, or is the future still up for changing? Features a strong main lead, a gay princess who's engaged to a prince, an all-women privateer crew who rules the sea, friendships, family, an incredibly "will they, won't they" slow burn, myths and folklore, magical gifts, and a diverse cast of characters.

I bet you think being a fairy godmother is a dream job. Sure, I get to wave a wand around and send pretty girls off to get themselves hitched to princes, but what do I ever get in return? A thank you note? A Christmas card? An invitation to tea at the palace? I get nothing more than nothing. If watching airheads flit around at balls is a dream, then trust me, I want to wake up.

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!

Lonely. Crippled. Dying. Travis is every one of those things. For four years, he's held on, but it hasn't gotten any easier. On him, his family, or his very few friends. And he's on the brink of giving up. In an attempt to cheer him up, Travis' friends set him up on dates. After all, people love feeling wanted and pink haired, impulsive Katie Cakes might just be the person he needs to bring him back up to earth.

Welcome to COMMON ROOM: A Short Story Anthology, written by Wattpad teen writers and edited by the Freshman Fifteens When the Freshman Fifteens formed in 2013, we wanted to share the journey of being a debut author with one another. As time went on, we experienced the generosity--and help--of established authors in the writing community. We wouldn't be about to have our debut books releasing in 2015 without their support and guidance. We wanted to do the same for writers of the future. Guiding the winners of the Wattpad-Freshman Fifteens COMMON ROOM writing contest through the process of writing, revising, and editing their short stories has been a terrific experience--we hope it's been half as fun for these talented writers as it's been for us! We want to thank all fifteen of our mentees for working so very hard since August 2014 on these stories. We think as you read them, you will see it's all been worth it! Please show your support by reading their stories, leaving comments and votes, and spreading the word about the COMMON ROOM anthology. A word about the cover: A huge thank you and congratulations to Catherine Fondren, a student from the Academy of Media Arts and Technology at Northwest High High School, a Northwest ISD campus, in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, for being the winner of our COMMON ROOM cover design contest.

"Hello?" "Um, hey?" "Wait, you don't sound like my Aunt Kathy." "Unless I was miraculously converted into a member of the opposite gender and somehow related to whoever is on the other side of this call, then yeah. I'm not your Aunt Kathy."
