Wattpad is the biggest online home for avid readers and writers. Those of us who write and post our work here love it to be read, but what we love even more is good constructive feedback. Here's where this club comes in. Come and join us.
Born in a fractured country uprooted by the Yugoslav wars, I learned to fight and read at the same time.
That wasn't enough to keep my single mum and me clothed and fed, so we sought refuge in faraway Ireland. There I discovered my Galway Girl soul and my love for the English language.
Years later, I returned to mainland Europe, earned two PhDs in English and Latin American Lit, and settled in Madrid.
These days, I work as a uni teacher, program in Python, and write books in English and Spanish.
'I've been through a lot of pain and dirt And I've got the scars to prove it ♫'
I climbed the ladder from zero to hero. I survived, adapted and endured, and this in turn gave birth to a plethora of creative stories.
For the Book Club, Evelyn has now submitted her story Mind The Gap

Things to look out for when reviewing my story
The kind of feedback I am after is related to developmental edit since I (we! ☔️y and I <3 )am planning on adding about 15-20k words more to the book. So I would love to see if the bookclubbies can help us with some suggestions on where would they add more 'fat' on the book. In the middle, in the end, what scenes would they like to see between the two protagonists. This will help us a lot in selecting the material for expansion <3 Thank you so much!
