Just like how some people love to tune in to their favorite TV show every week, and others like to binge watch once the season has wrapped up, Wattpad readers have different reading preferences!

Some people like to read as the story unfolds. For this type of reader, serialized stories are the best fit. On the flip side, some people prefer to fly through stories in one go once it's complete. But don't worry, there are benefits to both serialized and completed stories.

Serializing your story means that you post chapters over time as you're writing. This keeps your readers invested and coming back for more! Tip: update your story on the same day each week. For some people, reading your story is like tuning in to their favorite show. Let your updates be something your readers look forward to on a regular basis.

Once you've finished writing and your story is all wrapped up, go ahead and mark it as complete. This will help readers who prefer to read completed stories find yours and dive right in!
