I went to Wattpad today on a new computer and this popped up! That's me right there on the cover. They are using my book and my face to advertise the world's largest community of reader's and writers.
Dawn of the Epoch has been on Wattpad for about ten months and it just hit one million reads. Because you get one "read" per chapter and there are 100 chapters, this means that roughly ten thousand people have read my first novel. It feels great to know that so many people enjoy my work. I mean, I assume that if they read the whole thing, they must have enjoyed it... I only wish I could have caught this screen shot at exactly one million instead of one million and one...
In less than a year, Dawn of the Epoch went from an obscure work that no one had heard of to being the number one ranked science fiction work on Wattpad, the world's largest community of readers and writers as of today, 5/9/2013!
When Wattpad featured my book on wednesday, it had just over 80,000 reads. Four days later, it had over 110,000 reads. That's 7,500 reads per day. Incredible!
At this growth rate, I'll get just over 2.7 million reads in one year.
Wattpad is the world's largest community for discovering and sharing stories on the web and across every mobile device. Out of over five million stories they choose a few (less than 200) to become "Featured Stories." On January 9th, 2013, Dawn of the Epoch will join those ranks as a "Featured Story." I could not possibly be more excited about this deep honor. Please look out for my "guest blog post" that will be coming out on Wattpad in January right before the book goes live in the Featured Section.
On another happy note, Dawn of the Epoch has been on Wattpad for just over three months now and it has over 60,000 reads!
Posting on Wattpad has been an incredible journey. Barely two months have gone by and I am already about to get over 50,000 reads. Wow! I could always use more votes and comments though. If you like Dawn of the Epoch, then please vote for each chapter that you liked!
Tomorrow will be Dawn of the Epoch's one month anniversary on Wattpad. It is tantalizingly close to breaking 20,000 reads. If you haven't checked it out yet, then skim through it today and tomorrow in order to push it over the edge! Twenty thousand reads in the first month would be an excellent milestone!
So, Dawn of the Epoch has officially been on Wattpad for one week. Not only did it break 1000 reads, but it had over 3000 reads! At this growth rate, the book will be well into six figures in the first year.
