@AuthorRavenBlack - we've not done the selections for the Nov training yet. It's in progress. The current submissions form is linked on the Ambassadors profile.

@TheOrangutan "Thank You So Much Gavin" From Answering Me. So I will take that I am not selected this time so  I can Re apply now because I got a message or Notification talk about the application form? I can send you the link if you tell me the process so you know that it is the correct notification or form so I can fill it again? 

@AuthorRavenBlack - Hi, 
            
            All I can really suggest is that you apply using the submissions form on the @Ambassadors profile. Once you've done that then you've given yourself a chance to be picked. If you don't get picked this time, then please do reapply as we get around 1000 submissions every four months and we can only take about 150 on each time. 
            
            And yes, questions are always fine if you want to post something here. I'll always do my best to answer, but I don't have answers for everything. 
            
            Cheers, Gavin

@_-lOYT-_ - that function was removed from Wattpad in the early part of this year. There are no plans to reinstate it.

@Ty_Mirida - Hi, 
            
            I'm afraid I can't really answer your questions very concisely as I'm not really deeply involved in the technical side of the contest. But, I'll do what I can: 
            
            1. I'm not 100% sure. 
            2. Sorry, but I don't know the answer to that one. 
            3. Once you have entered a part of the story, so you've submitted it, then every part of the story you've entered should not be edited once you have entered it. 
            4. Not to my knowledge. 
            5. The Shortlist will be posted at around 10am Toronto time today, and emails will follow as far as I'm aware. 
            
            Sorry I can't answer everything as fully as you'd like. 
            
            Gavin

@TheOrangutan opps .., i am sorry mate :)

@VARHARARM - I am staff, yes, but I think you need to read my profile more carefully please. Thank you

@ icy_shinigami  Already did. Thanks for your massage. 

@icy_shinigami - when I first started on Wattpad, I found that the best way to get people to read my stuff was to read theirs. Find people who write similar stuff to you, read their story, give them positive feedback and critique. Often they will return the favour and then you start building a little community and a few writery friends. Once you start getting some reads that will boost your story's visibility in the algorithms, and you'll start placing on the Hot Lists. Once you do that, people will start finding your story of their own accord. 
            
            And of course you need to keep writing. The more you write, the more known you'll become.

@orionstarsy - there are various communication methods open to the team, but as they are spread across the world, it's not usually possibly to have a single online meeting where everyone can attend. Most communications tend to be done via Discord in text form then everyone can catch up on information when they log in for the day.

Tamam:(

@DilanAltnta0 - Üzgünüm, size yardımcı olabileceğim pek bir şey yok. Wattpad ile Yardım sayfaları üzerinden iletişime geçmeniz gerekiyor.

Thank you so much, Gavin. I completely understand the age requirement, and I’ll definitely keep supporting her and encouraging her to continue writing. It’s inspiring to know that age doesn’t limit talent, and I know she’ll keep pushing forward with her stories. We both appreciate your kind words, and she’ll be ready to apply when the time comes. Thanks again for the encouragement, and we’ll keep striving for the best!

@Mia_xxz - Hi, and thank you for the message. Sounds like your friend is a driven and determined woman, and I admire that. I also like that you're proud of your friend and want to help her too, that's good to see. 
            
            When your friend is 18 she will be allowed to apply to join the Ambassadors. I'm afraid she will have to wait a few years as that 18 figure is a legal requirement and there's no way around that. 
            
            So, for now, I hope she keeps writing and continues to inspire you and her other readers and friends. Age is no barrier to talent, and if she wants to succeed at writing then I suspect she may well do that from the way you've described her there. I wish her well in her writing journey. 
            
            All the best,  Gavin

@TheOrangutan I see, thank you 

@Central_vee - technically, no, it's not. It used to be, and in my opinion, it's not a behaviour that is particularly useful. Votes are a good way to connect with writers and engage with the Wattpad community, but votes do not impact how a story is ranked, so trading them is kinda pointless. To me, feedback on a story is far more important.  There's more information on votes and stuff on the Help pages if you're interested.
