Wattpad
Where stories live — connecting millions of readers and writers globally.
Wattpad is a social storytelling platform where millions of readers and writers share and discover stories across all genres. It fosters a community around fan fiction, original fiction, and serialized writing, with pathways for stories to be adapted into books, TV, and film. Writers can grow an audience while readers engage with content and connect with creators.
Writers publish stories on the platform in serialized or complete form, and readers discover, comment on, and share them, building communities around their favorite works.
