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. Book 1 will be published by EKSMO in Russia, Jaguar in Poland, Ecliptic in Bulgaria and Alpress in the Czech Republic.***All Rights Reserved

My Broken, Mute Mate (SAMPLE) (PUBLISHED!!) by ChicagoDreams

Highest Rank: #3 in werewolf THE LAST 15 CHAPTERS WILL BE TAKEN DOWN FEB. 1, 2019 DUE TO THIS BOOK BEING PUBLISHED IN MARCH. He looks over everyone, inhaling deeply, trying to pick out a scent. "She's here," he whispered with a smile. He walked through the sea of girls, to the back row where all of the lower class wolves stood, me among them. He slowly passed each girl, sniffing them, everyone of them frowning as he passed, some even let tears escape. He was five girls away from me. A little part of me hopes that I'm his, but most of me is praying to the Moon Goddess that I'm not. He stops at Sky, the girl next to me. She smiles and her eyes light up, but then he turns to me, making her cry. "Mine," he growls. **** Ariel Carter's life was torture. She was the slave of her pack ever since her parents died. And ever since their death, she hasn't said a word. One day, the strongest Alpha in the world, Alpha Shane Chase comes to visit in search of his mate. When Ariel finds out that she's the Alpha's mate, she's terrified. She's already broken and alone and abused by her pack. She doesn't need a mate, let alone an Alpha to do that to her too. Can Shane fix her after he finds out about her horrifying past, or will she stay broken forever? Follow them on their journey involving secrets, lies, heartbreaks, and a twist that'll keep you at the edge of your seat until the very end.

Guilty Love by NightTime_Storiexs

Four years. Four years ago, he left her. And now he's back, showing up at her bookstore, asking for a second chance. Oh, and for his book to be sold. Runville is a small town in North Carolina. A small town where smiles are made and hearts break. A small town where London and Ronan were each other's whole world. From growing up hating each other to falling in love only to break their hearts and wound up hating each other. It came down to career against family, love against self-love, and choosing who you love against yourself. And Ronan chose himself. And London chose her family. And it tore them apart. Now, four years later, he's done with college, made a name for himself, and is back in Runville. History always repeats itself. What goes around comes around. And where you start is where you end. Can Ronan win her back? They were pieces that fit perfectly together. Only they didn't belong to the same puzzle. . . . ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
