I have been checking out Wattpad for about a year now. I love some of the stories I have found and have started dialogues with a few interesting writers.
If you haven't heard of Wattpad you should check it out for yourself. It is a place for authors to post stories or parts of stories and get feedback from their audience. All of the work on Wattpad is free to read and their phone app is easy to use so I always have a story handy. It is so important to follow the authors you like and vote (click on the box with the star on the top right) for their stories. It helps the author gain other readers. If you leave comments they can help the author grow and the story improve. Please, if you join, take the time to do these things!
I have been concerned about putting my work out there because I believe that my work on Wattpad is considered published. My first book I still want to publish on my own and put if for sale and I feel the same way about my second novel so I hadn't posted anything yet.
Lately I have been reading articles about authors who got published because of stories on Wattpad and that was the impetus for me to finally post a story. I have added the link to the first chapter below.

I will be posting a chapter or more every Saturday. If you follow me on Wattpad you will automatically be notified when the updates are posted.
Please follow me on Wattpad- http://www.wattpad.com/user/KathrynThornton2 - and vote for the story. I would love to read your comments if you have any.
Happy Writing!
Kathryn
I hadn't heard of Wattpad - I'll have to check it out! Thanks :)
ReplyDeleteThere are quite a few authors there that have been published and use the site as way to put a chapter from their novel there to generate interest. Many people put work out for comments and others have posted stories that go on to become published. I have found a lot of interesting people on the site. I hope you find it useful. If you follow my link you can start following me and then I will follow you back.
