So, I was doing a critique tonight. And it was the person’s first book. And I was writing a bunch of the same things that I’ve written on a million other critiques since I started on Wattpad. And, it occurred to me that I keep giving people the same advice—advice that nobody gave me—and advice that beginner writer’s NEED. So I decided to put some of it down in a book, although I’m guessing most people won’t read it. Haha But the title pretty much says it all...

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.

Welcome to the Wattpad Writing Great Fiction introduction! You can browse through the chapters and use them as a reference when needed, or you can treat this like a class in writing fiction. There are assignments you can do, but don't worry, there aren't any due dates. There are lectures, but you don't have to take notes and there are no tests. But, if you work through it, if you do the assignments and think about how the lessons can apply to your writing, if you really push yourself, we guarantee that your writing will improve. With just a little bit of effort, you will feel more confident and your readers will see it in your work. You'll learn more about how to structure your stories, how to write great sentences that pull readers in and how to write characters that people will relate to and want to follow. A note on how this book is organized: The first eight chapters are devoted to the fundamentals you need to know to be able to craft stories that will draw readers in. The next seven chapters focus on different ways of planning and crafting your story, and after that we go over a variety of things including style and common story problems. So, jump in with us! Explore the craft of writing, work on the homework, try some of our contests and meet other writers who want to push themselves! We all look forward to reading your work and helping you become the writer you want to be. -The Ambassadors on the Improve Your Writing team.

Laura lives a happy, yet simple life on the Welsh coast. It's a million miles from the cut and thrust world of her parents. But she's happy, until a stranger to the area causes ripples of change everywhere from the sleepy Welsh village to London and beyond, and nothing will ever be the same again. Until this moment Laura had been happy with life, but nothing lasts forever, and her silly games of survival won't work any more.

The journey of a thousand words... To walk a mile in my shoes, you'll have to start here. As my 43rd birthday came and went, I was anxious about having not yet achieved all the success I had hoped for, or made all the money I had dreamed of. While telling everyone for years (more like decades), "If I could do one thing in the world for free it would be to write," I took a leap of faith and started. Now, just under three months over the gate, I have a novel that is currently being read around the world (hoping this short-story will be the second), am a monthly contributing Random Wattmag Writer, and am enjoying the success I dreamed of where money doesn't matter. "My Wattpad Experience" chronicles several events that happened in a particular series of days, weeks, and months from start to finish. These events set the precedence for a life-changing, invaluable, experience that allowed me to get out of my own way and become the Writer I've always known I could be. Someone once said, "If you love what you do, you'll never work a day in your life." Well, here's to not working! May your Wattpad experience exceed all of your expectations, and may my experience help you navigate the way. The journey starts now. Are you in?

I'm a CBBF bikini model, mother of two, wife, full-time communications professional and only 28! There isn't a single day that goes by where I don't write. And there shouldn't be, if writing is not only your passion and hobby, but who you are. Here are my thoughts on writing. My process and tips and tricks on how to improve your own. The day to day struggles I endure in the life of pursuing representation and publication. I started writing at the age of twelve. But I didn't begin to take it seriously until much, much later. Since that point, my writing has evolved and grown and truly begun to take shape. I wish I knew back then what I know now, and my sincere hope is that my experiences can benefit someone who was once in my shoes.
