Wattpad is a social media website that allows community members to read and write stories. It has become a growing service that operates for free. It is designed to be with you at all times operating as both a multi-platform app and an offline service.
All you are required to have is an email, Facebook account, google plus account, or Instagram account. If you are using email, you will also need to create a username and password.
Certain characters are not allowed in making a username.
You will have to be 13 years or older, along with other requirements (see Terms and Conditions).
Shortly after signing up for Wattpad, you’ll receive a verification email. Once you find the email, open the link embedded in the email. This will verify your account.
After creating an account you’ll be asked to fill out some basic information for your profile. If you linked your Facebook, Google account, or Instagram, then your profile will automatically fill your profile picture. Upload a picture if you want to if you didn’t link a social network.
Fill in a brief description of yourself in the bio section.
Go into discovering, which is the eye-looking icon. Then go into search (the magnifying glass icon). Write in the name of a story, or any keywords, for example, 'romance', 'action', 'fanfiction', etc. Discovering stories on Wattpad relies on tags and keywords.
Look at the story’s details.
Once you find a title or book cover that looks interesting to you, read a blurb. Never judge a book by the cover. Find out for yourself. Read the blurb to see if it's completed or ongoing, and how many chapters/parts there are.
If you've decided you want to read it, then click on the orange button that says 'READ', or click on the other orange button next to it with a plus sign on it ( + ). Once you've clicked read, it'll give you options to either add the title to your library or a reading list. Click on one, and the story will be added.
Go into the writing option, which is the icon with the pencil. This will bring you to your previous writings once you start a few titles. Only your library can access works without WIFI. The writing section requires WIFI.
Select 'Create new story' to make a new story or, if you've already started a story, click 'Edit another story'.
Add details to the title.
Make a title, add a description (optional), add a cover (optional), and then you'll be able to write your first part (it'll take you straight to the draft of your first part).
Good covers can catch a reader's attention. Devote time to choosing the right colors, right background, and perfect font to create something eye-popping.
Unfortunately, there isn’t a step on how to write a story. Write what you want and don’t concern yourself with what other people think. Get your ideas out at any expense. This should be a fun process, not a discouraging process.
Check out the clubs for information and to socialize. There are lots of helpful threads and conversation threads in clubs. This makes Wattpad a special site because it couples writing with a social media website.
You’ll need to be a verified user to access these functions.
Clubs are an excellent way to promote a story or find a similar author to yourself.
Support the stories you read.
Give feedback to the author after reading something you like. Nothing is more flattering than kind words from a fan. This encouragement can give the push authors need to make the next story or chapter. Maybe suggest an idea or help them correct a grammar or spelling error you find in the story.
When you see a paragraph or sentence you want to comment on, either (a) highlight it by holding your finger on it until it turns blue then click the button that says 'comment' or (b) if someone's already commented, click on the button next to the paragraph that looks like a speech mark.
