 Hi I'm new on wattpad I like writing but I have a problem with lack of money that's why I want to make money by writing novels on Wattpad.
          So how exactly do you get to the point where you can lock chapters?
          I'll be very thankful if you answered my question ♥️

Hi there, and welcome to Wattpad! In order to have a paywall on your stories, you need to either apply for the Creators Program, which grants you access to special pitching rights, or to see if the recent pitching contest is still open to the public. These options can take a lot of hard work and time though, as you prepare a pitch and submit it for judging. If they like it, they’ll reach out. Keep in mind that revenue isn’t guaranteed though — it depends on how well your stories do after the fact. So if you love writing, I highly recommend giving it a go, but if you’re looking for a quick and reliable way to make money, you might want to consider other options!  
            
            I hope that helps and you enjoy your stay :)

Hey there! Tysm for giving my work a chance, it means a lot. I’m always working to improve my writing and it’s an ongoing journey, but here are some things I’ve noticed that helped: 
            
            I’d start by writing a book you love, and working hard to make it the best possible version over a few drafts. Building an audience on Wattpad is often helped along by reading and commenting on other’s stories (but not promoting yourself through their work), signing up for any programs Wattpad offers, and self-marketing on social media to track your writing journey. Some of it is luck, and it’s a lot of hard work but if you’re honest and yourself, people tend to gravitate towards that! 
            
            I hope that helps <3

What the heck — we’re on the front page with Queen of the Night! Honestly such a lovely surprise, I didn’t expect it at all. 
          
          A quick Wyld Thorns update: your girl got cripplingly ill again (starting to sound like a real author now), so it’s been slow going, but I almost have the next chapter ready for you. Stay tuned ️

Is there another place to read wyldheart 2 because it doesn't show the book.  When I got to read the book, it gave me a blank page and told me in at the end of the story

@MichelleDinsmorePratt it’s not currently posted anywhere else though sorry. Still working on a manuscript for a paperback version :)

Hi Michelle! I asked my partner to check on their account and they said it’s still available on theirs — maybe shutting down the app and reloading will help? That’s happened to me before with other stories but I’m not sure why
