A unique opening line that touches the core of the story, that temptingly hints to what they'll find inside, that compels your reader to read on. Here are ten tips to hook your reader and get more reads.

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.

You want to publish your book. I did, too. It happened, and the more I learn, the more I realize having an English major doesn't prepare you to be a published author. Here's what they don't teach you in school about what it takes to survive in the publishing business. I can promise you one thing: If you want your book in print badly enough, you can make it happen if you don't give up. #140 in non-fiction 1/19/16 #236 in non-fiction 1/18/16 #371 in non-fiction 3/1/16 #281 in non-fiction 3/3/16 #150 in non-fiction 3/18/16 #67 in non-fiction 8/19/2016 #960 in non-fiction 1/28/2017 with 6.7K views

With these exercises you will be able to improve: Setting description Characters Emotional description These will help you to learn to shut off your brain and write for the pure love of it. Worrying about what others will think or if we are good enough holds writers back from being able to explore their true potential. Based off my writing threads, you will time yourself, forcing you to shut down that little voice and write whatever comes out of you. Stop overthinking your decisions and just write. To be featured in this book: Any exercises you do can be published in this book. Simply send me a private message and we will arrange for it. You will have your name as the chapter and will get each of your exercises reviewed by me. Rules: Writing must be made for this only. No previous work. Should be kept at two comment size worth (4,000 characters). Be finished within thirty minutes. Provide everything chosen from the list *All writing will belong to you.

Just some writing guides that I found useful over the years as I studied creative writing. This is just for me to store them. The guides in this book are organized in order alphabetically and by category to make things easy (see contents) I never planned to publish this because it WAS a personal collection, but I figured some people might want/need it so here you are (οΎ‰*UwU)οΎ‰β™‘ I'll add occasionally and not all at once because I have a LOT in here :') DISCLAIMER: These guides are NOT written by me, they were taken from multiple sources. If any of you readers are the authors of these guides and does not want your guides posted here, please tell me, and I will take your guide out of this book immediately. All the guides' authors and/or sources are stated clearly at the bottom of each guide.

As a reader, there are things I will judge heavily (and not so heavily) when deciding what to read. Writer Profile Cover Blurb Any parts in your book that occur before the first chapter The first chapter is a make it or break it for me. If it doesn't capture me right then and there, It's deleted from my library and I will not continue. Does your first chapter make it or break it? Your review and grade will be available (along with what I am reviewing and grading) for all to see in this book. I do not review books as a whole. This review will tell you if the book is able to keep potential readers who click on it. *No photos or covers come from the writer or book. I'm just practicing with different programs.
