Testimonials
This community, this experience, this award, they have all opened my eyes to not only abilities I didn’t know I had, but the potential for it to turn into something even more. Plus...how often do you get an award for work you do in your pyjamas?

Winning a Watty means acceptance. I'm sincerely grateful for the acceptance I've found here. To everyone who has befriended me, we're kindred spirits. Every time I open Wattpad, it feels like coming home.

It’s lovely recognition of a lifelong dream, and validation that I should keep attempting to improve and reach more people.
