Testimonials
In my writing journey, there have been lots of rewarding moments. From being inducted into the Paid Stories Program to winning a Wattys award in 2020 to partnering with different brands—all of them have been amazing. But if I had to choose one reward that sits closest to my heart, it would be joining Wattpad Creators. Being recognized for my work has given me a boost of confidence and allowed me to meet and become friends with many exceptional writers. Although new adult romance dominates my writing niche, I feel like Wattpad Creators has fuelled my want to expand my boundaries and test my limits as a writer.

Wattpad continues to elevate its writers and offer incredible opportunities. I am so grateful to be part of it. Since joining the program, I have been able to fully commit to writing full time again. I have re-ignited ideas and plots and storylines that I used to lack the time for.
