2015 is the year of branching out for me. I'm trying new ways to reach readers. My latest venture is with Wattpad. I wasn't very familiar with this platform, but I know a lot of readers are there grabbing free samples of books. So I thought why not?
I joined and got permission from the very awesome people at Spencer Hill Press to upload my two FREE Touch of Death series companions, which are also available on the SHP website.
The first is Curse of Death, which is the myth behind the series. It shows why I love Medusa and feel she was wrongfully cursed.
The second is Kiss of Death, which is a prequel novella told from Alex's POV, because I just love Alex and his story needed to be told pre-Jodi.
So what does this mean? I'm not entirely sure yet, but I'm hoping to reach new readers and introduce them to my work. I'll keep you posted on how it's going. In the meantime, feel free to follow me on Wattpad here and to read my free stories.
Are you on Wattpad? Feel free to leave your link in the comments so I can follow you. If you aren't, what do you think of a site that allows you to sample an author's work?
Here's to branching out. Good luck, Kelly! :D
ReplyDeleteThanks, Diane!

DeleteI've heard of Wattpad...but don't really know all that much about it. Maybe its time to find out. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm learning. Feel free to join me. :)
DeleteI've been on there once or twice, when my cp (Kimberly G. Giarratano) set up an account. I know some ppl really find it works for them, so I hope it does well for you!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Leandra. I hope so too.
DeleteI have one but have NO clue how to use it! I think I got like 20 something views and they were all my mom ha
ReplyDeletelol, Beth. :)
DeleteI've heard of Wattpad, but have never used it. I'll definitely consider it for novellas and other short pieces.
ReplyDeleteI think it could be really good for short works.
DeleteI've heard of Wattpad but never really checked it out. Keep us posted and have a good time with it, Kelly! It's good to branch out. 2015 is also my year of branching out.
ReplyDeleteI will, Claudine!
DeleteI'd heard of Wattpad before but I was never 100 percent sure what it was. Sounds like a great outlet for you to find new readers.
ReplyDeleteThat's what I'm hoping.
DeleteI'm "on" Wattpad but I've never had the time to do much with it. I keep hearing about it though. Found out it's a great way to focus group parts of your book. Let us know how it goes!
ReplyDeleteI will. :)
DeleteI've been thinking about Wattpad but haven't taken the plunge. I'll be very interested to know if it helps you reach new readers. Keep us updated,and have a great weekend! :)
ReplyDeleteI'll keep you posted!
