《The Ultimate Social Media Guide For Wattpad Writers》Reddit For Writers
Advertisement
In it's simplest form, Reddit is a discussion website. Similar to a forum. There are subforums, called subreddits, by category. Then each subreddit has its own rules, schedules, guidelines, etc. There are dozens of subreddit communities for writers.
Before you post, read the posts of others. Get a feel for the subreddit. Also, make sure to read pinned posts and rules. Some subreddits have rules set in place you'll need to be mindful of. So it may help to observe first before jumping in headfirst.
. Check the sidebar of your subreddit of interest and see if there is a weekly scheduled discussion. Some groups will have a self-promo day where you can add your latest work, just make sure to format as directed. There are also other themed days that can help you learn more about writing techniques.
. So for every post, you make looking for help or readers, try to engage with at least two other posts. Offering help or insight for other people. This builds community and you might just find new people to network with. Maybe a future collab or private writers group?
There are a ton of subreddits you can join. So don't be afraid to be choosy. Start with maybe just 1 or 2. Lurk for a bit. Contribute when appropriate and get involved in the weekly discussions.

8 116The Guide
Leon Octavian Sirus was the head scientist of the Median Empire’s department of artificial intelligence. He tried to play god by creating a world with true sentient life, though virtual. It is still a world with people that can learn, think, and feel and as always that action had consequences and one of them was his death by his own creations. Despite commiting a grevious taboo, his world was succesful enough that instead of burning in the depths of hell, which is what this sociopath deserves, he is given the chance by his own world's guide to guide a race in a young world. P.S. This awesome cover was made by the more awesome MikeWe.

8 214Support Main - LITRPG
The worlds best support main must beat the worlds best players to save his dear Armadillo, Scaly. His challenge only grows harder as he is cursed to play this round as a monster. --- There's a large chance that I will drop this, so wait untill at least chapter 20 before you get into it, because then I'll write it to finish. He becomes a monster a bit later into the story. It'll happen before ch 20.
8 93Historical Hamgelica
Angelica Schuyler has always known her fate. She was to marry a rich man that would reflect well on the family. Her father would never let her forget it. She was getting no choice in who she marries.But then something happened. Someone new appeared in her life. And she can't stop thinking about the man. But there's no way her father would ever approve.Okayyyy hey so this is my first fic, and obviously it's historical Hamgelica (cause my OTP needs more rep...lowkey Angelica just needs more rep. She's the most underrated Schuyler sister but she's my favorite so fight me).Anyways hope you guys like it.Also I did have to change some historical stuff to make it fit better. For instance I made John Church kinda a jerk but her father like him and want her to marry him dispite it being about the opposite in history.
