#NewAdultReads

Hello everyone!
          
          In case you haven't noticed as of yet, Wattpad will be removing the DM feature on May 6. As many of you know, this is the way we communicate with Author Spotlight participants. Beginning with May, we will be contacting users via message board. In the meantime, we will be working on a way to figure out how to conduct these author interviews without posting them prematurely on Wattpad.
          
          We would also like to take a moment to give a shoutout to everyone who has participated, will participate, and has submitted a nomination for others to be interviewed for our Spotlight. We appreciate all of you and will do our best to keep the Spotlight a regular feature here on New Adult Reads!

Hey everyone!
          
          The Bootcamp Mentors season has begun and they have exciting program changes to share with you. Visit the @bootcampmentors profile and check out their 2024 Bootcamp Mentorship title to learn more. The first open submission window will happen this month (April 21st - 24th). If you have a story brewing and you’d like guidance with the writing process, make your plans now to apply to a bootcamp mentor!
