How I got picked up by Wattpad.

Most people know I’ve always wanted to be an author, for as long as I can remember. I’ve written stories my whole life and it’s always been my dream to make a living from the words I write. But making money from writing is a gruelling business. So while I’m still working towards the goal of traditional publishing (paperbacks printed by a big publishing house), I’m also exploring ways to make money online writing, and how to make money writing on Wattpad.

Meet the characters in my novel.

If you’ve been around this blog for a moment, you might have heard me going on about this novel I’ve written. While I was writing, I found it pretty helpful to visualise the characters I was writing about. I found some inspirational images on Pinterest to help me imagine the characters in the book.

The novel is about seven young adults living in the flat above a café and bookstore in London. Each of them loves books and coffee, naturally, and they spend their day serving customers and sneaking in some reading time. With seven people working and living so close together, you can imagine tensions run high. But they do love each other… mostly.

Meet the characters below (and let me know, just judging by these inspo pics, which one is your favourite!)

Here’s the link again to read Brew Books on Wattpad.

Read my novels.

If you fancy taking a peek into a book of mine, you can check them out on Wattpad. It’s an online site and an app that I upload my books to, where you can read books for free. I have 3 completed novels, a novella, and I’m currently writing a new fantasy novel. Just visit my Wattpad profile to see all my stories, or you can read more about the stories below….

Brew Books

London. A café and bookstore, run by 7 young bibliophiles.

Until one disappears.

Newly single, dropped out of university, and brand new to London, Jane Thomas has no idea what she’s getting into when she accepts the job at Brew Books.

She’s instantly pulled into the world of her fellow baristas and bibliophiles, who each have secrets of their own. And she starts to fall for Harper, the bartender with the smile she can’t resist.

But who was Matt, who once lived in the room that Jane moves into? Why did he leave? And when will he be back?

The princess of the Fire Lands is sold into marriage to a foreign prince. While trying to adapt to the new kingdom, she discovers a plot to reignite the Fire Wars. Many want her dead, but she must join forces with her sworn enemy to stop the world descending into war again. ✩✩✩

Reprise

Reprise on Wattpad

Emily and Lucas grew up together. They were the closest friends you could imagine. Until Lucas did something that Emily could not forgive him for.

But now, Lucas is trying to push his way back into her life. And he knows something about their past – and their parent’s past – that Emily doesn’t know.

Riptide

Riptide on Wattpad

When you’re surfing big waves, you’re going to get dumped.

18-year-old Indy has finally returned to her mother’s pretty little beachfront cottage. This is going to be the summer she finally confesses her love to Ryan, the boy next door. But this year, Ryan has brought along a girlfriend. Indy is determined not to let heartbreak drown her, because when you get wiped out, you’ve just got to get back on the board.

I hope you read them!
