Welcome to the wonderful world of writing on Wattpad!
This is Wattpad, not the Olympics, so there's no need to panic. Anyone can try it, no training required.

Writing doesn't have to be complicated, and you don't have to be a graduate of some fancy university, but there are a few guidelines that will make things easier for you and your readers.

I have tips for beginners who paid as little attention in English as I did, as well as details on things I've learned over the years.

Anyone can write a story. I never thought I would write anything, but I tried it and - much to my surprise - I found it very relaxing and entertaining. 

Feel free to skip around the chapters to find sections that interest you. You are also welcome to skim everything in case you find a hidden gem of advice.

Please note that my writing tips follow the Chicago Manual of Style writing guide (you are free to use a different guide - keeping things consistent is the biggest thing).All Rights Reserved

But, if you work through it, if you do the assignments and think about how the lessons can apply to your writing, if you really push yourself, we guarantee that your writing will improve. With just a little bit of effort, you will feel more confident and your readers will see it in your work. You'll learn more about how to structure your stories, how to write great sentences that pull readers in and how to write characters that people will relate to and want to follow. A note on how this book is organized: The first eight chapters are devoted to the fundamentals you need to know to be able to craft stories that will draw readers in. The next seven chapters focus on different ways of planning and crafting your story, and after that we go over a variety of things including style and common story problems. So, jump in with us! Explore the craft of writing, work on the homework, try some of our contests and meet other writers who want to push themselves! We all look forward to reading your work and helping you become the writer you want to be. -The Ambassadors on the Improve Your Writing team.

100 Best Completed Books on Wattpad by Ijustwanttoseeyou

Views and votes doesn't always means a great book. I have been using wattpad for a long time now and i have read over 400 books so far. It's hard to find good books. Sometimes, you feel disappointed or blame yourself for wasting time over such books when you have already read the half of the books and find it doesn't worth it. So, i hope this book will help you to have a great time reading. 🌟 Please read intro first 🌟 I read various genres. Sometimes you may think this book is a madness, crazy. But doesn't it also means that the author had done a great job.? You will find that kind of books in here too. These are the books that i find that deserve over 3/5 stras. It's not in any order, best one to fair or so. Enjoy!

Review Shop - CLOSED by Ravendipity

|| CFCU || This is a continuation of my previous review shop as it reached the 200 chapter maximum. This shop features detailed reviews for all authors of all sizes with NO genre restrictions, only minor restrictions for things like excessive sexual content (like 80-100% of your book is sexual content). As long as you don't break ToS, you're probably gonna get accepted. The ONLY payment is a permanent follow that you will receive back alongside several other benefits, so don't worry about tagging anyone, posting on your mb, voting, commenting, etc. I do: - Short reviews - Long reviews - Detailed reviews - Public feedback - SUPER public feedback Average wait time: 3 days to 2 months Fluctuates depending on demand and my schedule. I am the ONLY reviewer. Examples of my reviews are in this review shop and my old one if you'd like to see my review style prior to signing up. --- If you are reading this story on any other platform other than Wattpad you are very likely to be at risk of a malware attack and reading a plagiarized copy of my work.
