πŸ›‘ If you are an AUTHOR, or thinking about self publishing, I suggest you STOP and read this. 

(*sigh*, this book was stolen too)

This is not a fiction novel, but a scarily true account of how authors all over the internet are having their works stolen, redistributed, edited and plagiarised, π‘€π‘–π‘‘β„Žπ‘œπ‘’π‘‘ π‘¦π‘œπ‘’ 𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑛 π‘˜π‘›π‘œπ‘€π‘–π‘›π‘”. 

WHAT I WISH I HAD HAVE KNOWN, BEFORE SELF-PUBLISHING ON WATTPAD:

If you are a keen writer and are looking for a starting place to dip your toes into the world of publishing, you are not alone. I was once in your shoes as well. 

However the internet is a nasty place out there, and no matter how much research you do, if you are like me, you might have missed potentially the most important deciding point of all. 

"If I'd have known my hard work, blood sweat and tears, would be so carelessly copy and pasted elsewhere without me even knowing, I would have thought twice about where I chose to publish my work." 

Read about how works all over Wattpad and other self-publishing platforms are being redistributed without authors' consent. 

***

This book also contains a step-by-step guide to publishing on Amazon KDP.

***

Please share this to as many people as you can, to get the word out, for those who are unknowing victims of theft, just like I was, for 11 whole months.

Rose Romano has had an unusual, and to some degree, extraordinary life. Daughter of a suicide victim and an alcoholic, it seems that the last year of her life in university have been for the better. Following her and her mother's dream of being a professional pianist, Rose is on the edge of making her hopes and aspirations a reality... when she meets a certain group of Internet celebrities, in which one takes a special liking to her. Follow Rose as she experiences love, hope, betrayal, and what it means to be a true musician. Completed, and please forgive the minor spelling mistakes. ------------------------- β€’READ THIS BEFORE READINGβ€’ Please be aware that this story contains references to sexual assault, suicide, abuse, and self harm. I deeply regret incorporating some of those topics into my story. Please understand that I was 13 when I wrote this, I was naive, and I never expected it to reach the height that it has. However, even though I understand the impact these things carry now, I believe changing/deleting things would harm the story and make it feel murky and unclear. Please try and take it all with a grain of salt. --- This was meant to be a trilogy, but where's the fun in that? I anticipate ~150 chapters. "Yes. Of course!! I love your writing! It's so deep, like the reader is a part of your story without it needing to be in 2nd person. You are by far my favorite author on Wattpad! <3. I'd be willing to read anything you give us!

I love it." -@FandomSweetheart "This story is an entire emotional rollercoaster that I didn't expect to fall in love with." -@LameZero -----

*FIRST EVER WATTPAD BOOK WITH THIS CHARACTER* *BEFORE WE START: THIS BOOK IS MEANT TO BREAK THE STIGMAS ASSOCIATED WITH MENTAL ILLNESS AND ADDICTIONS. IF YOU DONT HAVE AN OPEN MIND AND ARE THE TYPE TO INSTANTLY COMMENT "JUNKIE" INSTEAD OF VIEWING THE OVERALL PICTURE, PLEASE REFER TO ANOTHER BOOK. WE DISCUSS GROWN PEOPLE PROBLEMS HERE.* Started: November 18, 2018 Completed: July 28, 2019 Kaleehalani is a 26 year old woman fresh from college with a degree in Journalism. Using her degree, she runs an online blog called "To Be Chocolate Like Me" to uplift other women with the same insecurity as her own. Everywhere she would go, she would be teased about how white her teeth were but how dark she was. Her desire to create her blog was inspired by her ex boyfriend who actually helped her confidence, but that all changed when she realized he was just using her to get to her light skinned "Bestfriend." Just when she is in the process of building her brick wall up, one night at a Dave East concert changes her entire life in a way that she could have never imagined- both good and bad. After so many months of fighting a battle of unspoken anxiety and depression, she has lost all trust in anyone that isn't her, even her parents who never seemed to care about anything but their money from the start. Follow Kaleehalani on this journey to find herself through the fame, money, lies, deceit, and "love". *I DO NOT GIVE MY CHARACTERS OUT AND I DO NOT OWN COPYRIGHTS TO ANY OF THE PICTURES, GIFS, MUSIC LYRICS, OR ANY OTHER VISUALS* Cover made by me πŸ₯°

This is the struggle faced by our protagonists. Both are living their lives, yet their pasts have trapped them in a constant cycle of fear. While they may differ in personality, they share one common trait-fear. What happens when two strangers, bound by this shared fear, come together in a sacred union? Will they find love in each other's arms, or will their marriage become nothing more than an empty bond?

Mankind devoured - BOOK 1 by LoganDavies9
21 parts Complete Mature
Hello, Logan here. It is 2021, and this is the first book that I ever wrote. It's shit. I'm publishing it back on Wattpad again so my friend can read it. It is unedited and as I left it in 2017. I am currently published with three books out, and this is so funny to look back on. Enjoy reading my shittest work to date. Lots and lots of love, Logan Beadnell-Davies The overarching theme for this first book is a theme of rage and hatred. In the words of a great philosopher; there is no limit to the gruesome and grotesque things we are willing to do in the name of survival. While reading this; Remember that not everything is as it seems. Remember that loved characters will die. Remember that the world will gradually get worse as the parts go on. Take a moment to ask yourselves these questions: What would you do in the name of survival? Would you steal to survive? Would you kill to survive? Would you lose your mind to survive? If you lost your mind, do you think you'd kill more, steal, injure, backstab, rape or any other atrocity you can think of? If you can think of it, then maybe you would. The characters and situations in this book are very real, if gore or horrific mental images scare you, then I wouldn't recommend reading far. DESCRIPTION: The Infection claimed the lives of over 3 billion people before the TV's went off. But it would claim many more. The problem didn't arise when those people got up and started walking again, or even when they started eating and infecting others, it began when people got desperate. In this new world, the true evil that humans are capable of gradually becomes more apparent, and a part of everyday life. Normality doesn't exist, people don't help other people. Friends aren't a thing anymore. All anyone truly has is themselves, and the burdens they carry.
