@TheWattys
Pls I don't understand what you are trying to say
If it is not up to 40000 words I can't join
Yes thank you
@nitalovie2 Your story needs to have at least 40.000 words overall to be eligible. And the submission period for this year has ended, so you can't submit your story anymore. Is that your question?
How do I withdraw my story from the watty's? I want to self publish it now instead.
@TheWattys thank you!
Hello. As per your post, we are allowed to edit the Story Description. I didn't touch any chapters at all, but the submission banner that indicated I successfully submitted was gone. Please look into it.

@sanjilockheart Editing your story description after submitting is allowed and won't affect your eligibility. Since the 2026 Wattys submission period has now closed, it's expected that the "Enter the Wattys" banner is no longer visible. If you successfully submitted your story before the deadline and saw the submission confirmation, your entry should have been received. If you'd still like confirmation that your submission was recorded, please contact Wattpad Support, they'll be able to verify your submission.
⚜️Hello, I have a question :). If I edit the title and cover from FAE RISE, will I be disqualified? Or is there a way that I can do it and stay in the competition?⚜️
can I edit one of the tags after submitting my story or is it better not to risk making changes at all?
@Lottiz I have the same question lol. I changed a tag after submitting. Please let me know if you hear a response!
Hello, do you have any record for watty awards before 2014? I won in 2011, and I'd like a screenshot because I'm about to be on the local news for publishing my debut novel, and I'd like to shout out my roots.
@TheHeadHill Hi! Congratulations on your debut novel! That’s such an exciting milestone. Unfortunately, we don’t have screenshots from the Wattys, including the 2011 awards. We’re so sorry we can’t help with that. Wishing you all the best with your local news feature, and congratulations again on your publishing journey!

Hi! I submitted my story 'Two Hearts Beyond Lupus' before the deadline and received the confirmation pop-up screen, but I didn't get a confirmation email. Could you please confirm if seeing the final confirmation screen means the server has successfully received my entry? Thank you!
@hellen_books Hi! If you saw the final submission confirmation screen after submitting your story, that generally indicates that your entry was successfully received.
Hey, in 2022 I won a Wattys award and now I wanted to join with its English translation. I have more than 40.000 words but can't see the form. Could you help me please?
I understand but also I couldn't see the form for any of my stories. I guess there was a problem because last year I join with my other books and it was alright. But this year I couldn't see the form.
@missladyregency If you won a previous Wattys with this story and are now trying to enter its English translation, it would not be eligible for the 2026 Wattys. Stories translated from another language for submission are not eligible, even if they meet the word count requirement.
@TheWattys Okay just making sure.
Hey I submitted my story into your contest my story is called THIS IS EASTER I was wondering if there are any updates to the idea of who can be the winning member of the contest. I'm asking it's been like what I'm assume July 15th like the contest said is there any updates announced now on who the winner is or this going to be like the announcements will be announced at the end of the year?
@Lucille_Crimson6 Thanks for entering your story and best of luck in the 2026 Wattys! There haven't been any winner announcements yet. The judging process is still underway. The Shortlist is expected to be announced on or around September 15, 2026, and the Winners are expected to be announced on or around December 2, 2026.
@Lucille_Crimson6 the winner will be announced at the end of the year near december or October I believe
Hi, I would like to know if my story was correctly submitted, since i didn't see any option in the forms to select the genre of my story
@FVhistorical it's already preselected.
