In October 2018, we launched Wattpad Next beta as a temporary program in order to learn and test how our community would interact with a program that monetarily supports writers. The results of the program showed that Wattpadders are ready for a program that funds writers. The name was changed to Paid Stories. The Paid Stories program is a way for writers to earn money for their work and for readers to support writers for creating stories they love.
Through purchasing Coins to unlock Paid Stories or subscribing to Premium+, Wattpadders have shown that they believe in the program, want to pay writers, and see value in the stories selected.
The Wattpad community has always supported writers by reading their work, sharing the stories they love, and cheering writers on through comments and votes. Readers can now support writers’ careers by paying to read their work. This gives writers the opportunity to spend more time creating the stories we love.
We’re excited about the opportunity Paid Stories creates for writers on Wattpad, and we will continue to work on expanding the program to more writers and readers.
