@TheNanoWatt  lmao!  I think I have a date with my pillow first, but I’ll add that to tomorrow’s schedule.  Thank you

@Femdan please just leave your work as is now. As long as you're not way over the word count we'll give you grace. Have a glass of champagne and enjoy the ball! Hurrah!

@TheNanoWatt ok good, thank you.  Any idea which word count to follow?  I had to pull a chapter out to make the word count fall under 40,000, according to the Wattpad app on my iPhone, but according to Wattpad on my laptop, it would have fit.

Nano Stat Update #3
          
          Hi Nanowattians,
          
          It's Phoebe here with another Nano Stat Update! Only 5 days remain to make your submissions. That's right, our submission period is quickly drawing to a close and this is crunch time.
          
          So there's no time like the present to enter your stories. 
          
          Additionally, remember to join in on the fun in our annual Guessing Game under Nano Stat Update #2. 
          
          The final day to make those guesses is April 27th. 
          
          So get on it Nanowattians!
          
          Tic-Toc-Tic-Toc
          
          
          Until the next one,
          Phoebe

Hi I just had a quick question. I’m working on a novella, which will be hopefully finished in a few weeks. Will there still be a chance to submit it during May/June? Thanks 

TheNanoWatt

@PatrickMinkowski hi there! Unfortunately submissions close May 1st so it would be unlikely. But, we would love to see that brilliant story of yours next season. :)

Hello! I don’t mean to sound rude, but have you been ignoring my entry form? 

TheNanoWatt

@Elouisha Your entry form is not being ignored. Speaking of which, please check your Novella submission and confirm the word count, thanks! :)

⚜️Hello! I would love to submit my clean romance, FAE RISE, for the Nano Wattys! I’m just wondering if my book is eligible. If so, how do I sign up?⚜️

TheNanoWatt

@Elouisha also if your story is Fantasy Romance enter it into the Fantasy Category instead of Contemporary Romance. Reading the chapter "Genre Categories" will make it clear the most appropriate genre you should submit to.

TheNanoWatt

@Elouisha Hi there! Read through the chapters 'Rules & Eligibility' and 'Genre Categories' then head over to Contemporary Romance submission form and follow the instructions listed at the top of that chapter.

Hey @TheNanoWatt, quick question. You may remember my username as the one who has been trying to help answer some questions in the comments of your book. I just recently changed my profile pic for the NBA playoffs.
          
          But anyways, enough of that. I have a question. I already entered "Pups Save the World" in as the #8 slot of fanfiction. I have a Q&A show that releases episodes every Tuesday. Since it's a Q&A with both me and Chase from the PAW Patrol, it's a fanfic. Could this qualify as an anthology that I could enter for The Nano Watt? You could check out a few episodes of that to double-check. Here is the link: https://www.wattpad.com/story/407427241.
          
          Thank you! :D

@TheNanoWatt Okay, got it! Thank you for clarifying. I appreciate it! :D

@creative_ben No, it is ineligible. If you re-read the Genre Categories chapter you will see we are looking for specific types of anthologies.
