In light of the abundance of "How to get noticed on Wattpad" tips that mainly focused on promoting one's self, sticking to a "TV show" style of updating stories, basically catering to the needs of a larger audience, I've decided to create a writing style based guide book that will really help writers out there to find their own voice and improve their writing to its best potential.

This guide book will cover everything, from plot to developing characters to different writing styles. I will also cover positive approaches to dealing with cliches. Not the "avoid this, avoid that" kind of thing; I was thinking looking at a trite plot element and using the "how can I pull this off" approach.

After this book has completed, I will be officially coming back to critiquing stories, this time I'll do weekly critiques of three (3) completed books per week. Every book that passes my test (gets a score of 70% or higher) will be featured in a book called "Wattpad's Greatest Hits."

Keep in mind that even though I try to come off as objective as possible, I may still be putting tips that are opinion-based. Also, if I happen to miss out any topic that isn't promotion-related, feel free to message me.
