As I understand it, and I don’t, Penguin Random House will be publishing Wattpad Books’ backlist so they can get their greedy fingers into Wattpad’s pie and make some money off of already proven authors like Anna Todd. But that will help those writers even more, and they’ll likely become millionaires, if they’re not already. Penguin can secure big movie deals for them and other options that Wattpad Studios was rather limited in.
The takeaway is that you guys all need to start getting your work posted and popular on Wattpad so you can get one of these PRH deals! Good luck. ☜(ˆ▿ˆc)
New from Penguin Random House Wattpad, we bring you a story you’ll remember, with an unforgettable cast, gritty storylines, and a dose of realism. Behind These Eyes by Churro tells the story of Juan-Mateo “Shade” Rojas, and his rise to infamy, and legendary status within the tough streets of Convoy Park. Taking us from the ages of sixteen to twenty-seven, this story will bring you on the ride of a lifetime as you get to know the man who pulls the strings.
“I adored this! These characters have something mine lack; real chemistry, and depth!” - Colleen Hoover
“An intense whiplash of a ride. Strap yourselves in!” - James Patterson (or one of his many ghostwriters)
“Te amo, chef’s kiss!” - Matt Mendez
If you pre-order this book before the March 25th, you get a free poster and keyring! Don’t hesitate!
I started part 3 of chapter 1 and I am at over 1,699 though I am not done.
So far, the story is going smoothly for my first draft. I am tired and need to tap out in order to rest/relax.
I feel an interesting twist coming my way, maybe even a death!
I took my completed novels off Wattpad when the WP forums vanished. My novels still exist on Smash Words though, and they’re unlisted on Amazon direct publishing. Pity I’m unable to delete e-books with registered ISBNs off Amazon.
Anyhoot. I sometimes wonder if there’s any point in returning my novels to Wattpad for a while, just to get more eyeballs on my work,* and perhaps some constructive feedback. I may need to improve the stories’ tags too.
I meant it in the sense that you may end up with comments begging you to make Crow x Webb canon already. And threatening to send a thermonuclear missle to your house if you refuse.
