We all know exactly what we should be doing, in order to make it big on Wattpad... but what about the stuff we're not supposed to do? This book will cover 70 of Wattpad's darkest sins, the mistakes that can send a user's story down to Wattpad Hell faster than a click of the 'unfollow' button. If you have observed any atrocities or just want to vent, leave a comment below and let the hate flow through you!

I automatically leave a story when it starts out, “i wuz 10 wen i fell in LOVEEE.” It literally burns my eyes to read something like that, so one time I asked a person why they would write like that and their answer was, “I’d rather get my story out there quickly and keep my fans interested than waste my time proofreading.” You know what that tells me? That if you don’t have the time to simply spell out the whole word “when,” you probably don’t have the time to write a decent story with an intriguing plot and developed characters; if you don’t have those, you’ll lose you fans anyway. Now, I know a lot of people really don’t know how to write so, I’ve made this guide to help out. I’ll be posting chapters on character and plot development, emotion/tone, setting, clichés, and whatever the heck else I can think of, but right now I’ll start with grammar and spelling.

NOT A GOOD GUIDE FOR BEGINNERS / UNDER THE PROCESS OF EDITING

Calling all authors! Or better yet, those unknown, undiscovered, authors who just need a little help. Writing stories is an incredibly fun thing to do. For me it's so stress relieving to leave my real world full of classes and parental issues and submerge into the world of my characters. But it's not that simple. It's a hard concept, writing. Knowing how or where to start, what to do with your characters and so on. This book will, hopefully, help you get past the initial problems and insecurities that always keep you from getting your ideas down. This is meant as an informative book and all tricks/tips are meant to be used at your own discretion. Learn to relax and let your words flow. Keep calm and write a novel!

From the occasional controversial issues on Wattpad to finding out what common mistakes are in writing. This must read will educate and provide a place for writers to voice their opinions. If you want to find out information about contributing please PM me or talk to me on Meebo and I'll get you the information you need.

Lots of people have asked me for advice on writing. And so I thought I'd offer five simple tips that a beginner (or even a more-seasoned) writer might find helpful. Hope you find something useful here.

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.

Those people are mine, those soldiers are mine, you are mine." I freeze. "Well," I straighten my spine, tightening my fists," I am not to be owned by anyone, least of all you.
