Yesterday, our Kathy Rowe told you about some cool things you can do with Wattpad. Hopefully you’ve had a chance to check Wattpad out and get some good stuff up there for the world to see. If not, hurry up and dust it off! Now you’re ready for our Wattpad Follow Fest.
This is how it works: If you are an author, publisher, publicist, literary agent, book reviewer, librarian (or especially a book-lover), etc., in the comments below, paste in the link for your Wattpad profile. Make sure you show some love to the profiles in the comments above yours, and check back throughout the day to catch up. To get your url, merely go to your profile and copy the link next to the BIG pink arrow at the top of the picture above (i.e. – http://www.wattpad.com/user/KSBrooks).
Click on the person’s link in the comments section below, and you will go to their profile. Then click Follow. (See photo above.)
This should be fun and should generate a lot of exposure for everyone who plays. Let’s get the party started! Don’t forget, if you right click and open into a new window, you won’t have to click back constantly. Now go have fun!

Hate to be a wet blanket but one thing I really dislike about Wattpad is the ‘hard sell’ they use to get people to join up. I just took a look at one of RJ’s stories and the excerpt was truncated way too soon by a blatant demand that you sign up to read more.
I am already signed up with Wattpad but a) I can’t imagine a non-member signing up on the basis of just a few pages of a story and b) I can’t see how this would endear the reader to the author. So any marketing we do is likely to benefit Wattpad more than us.
Nice story though, RJ. 🙂

Hope this works. Traveling and using my iPhone 6+ as my writing device.
Just dropped by your page and I can confirm your link works fine!
