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.

Caveship by ERMaloza

Nicholas Mason is a fairly average teenager from the small town of Aberdeen, Washington, in his final year of high school. When an earthquake awakens him at a senior party he attends with his two closest friends, they find themselves face-to-face with a powerful starship created by an ancient civilization - a Caveship. Taken aboard against their will, Nicholas and his friends find themselves traveling farther and farther away from Earth, while the starship automatically pilots itself toward some unknown destination. Now, Nicholas and the ragtag group of teenagers must work together to find a way back home, facing incredible dangers on strange alien worlds, all while at the mercy of a starship hellbent on reaching its target.

Eliona's War 3: Lethal Healer by KurokageJS

When the truth comes out, there's nowhere left to run. Season 3 of Eliona's War *** When Seth received a new virtual reality video game from his uncle, he wasn't expecting to get swept up into a whole new world called Eliona. As it turned out, Eliona and its people are far more dangerous than Seth could ever have imagined. There is a real consequence to playing this game: it's changing him, and it might not be for the better. Now that Seth/Severance knows the truth of Eliona, there's no going back. Eliona is dying, and in order to save it, he needs to beat a very difficult dungeon before anyone else does. And on Earth, things are even worse. It's come to light that Eliona is leaving a mark on its players, and suddenly, everyone wants to be involved. Players find themselves with a target on their back, and Seth? He might just have the biggest one of all. Too bad for them, he's done running. *** Weekly updates on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Wait & read for free, or unlock with coins-the choice is yours!

By The Full Moon ( A Hunter Novel #1) by JovinaN

"We are not complete animals Ava, we won't do anything you say no to." She let out a breath of relief. "However," Emilio said as he sat beside her, resting a hand on her hip before touching his lips to her ear as he spoke softly to her, "mark my words. By the full moon, you'll be begging us to touch you in ways that make you blush just thinking about." Ava Blaine, daughter of Alpha Blaine of the Lupis Pack, has known the day would come for the war between her pack and the Ash Pack. She grew up training for the day it would ultimately rear it's ugly head. They had been rival packs for three generations, the Ash Pack trying to take over the Lupis Pack's land for it's resources. Her pack had done a damn good job keeping them at bay, until the twin Alphas came into their reigning day. When the day for battle came Ava knew she was ready, that is, until she learned they were her chosen Mates. Both of them. Due to the Bond she would be forced to choose between her beloved pack, or the Mate-Mates-chosen for her. What will she do?
