Bootcamp Mentors

Have you ever wondered if there was a secret to getting more reads on Wattpad? Are you always looking for new ways to get exposure for your story? Look no further than your own profile. Tags and Blurbs might be the most useful tools in a Wattpad writer’s kit, but they are often forgotten or neglected. The Bootcamp Mentors have the inside scoop on how to use these time-tested promotional tools, and we’re here to let you in on the secret.
          
          Read our newest article, Tags and Blurbs, in our Writing For The Wattys feature. It may be the best five minutes you’ll ever spend!

The Open Novella Contest is back for its sixth installment and they're ready to rock! Starting February 1st, why not take the challenge to write 20,000+ words in 12 weeks through one of Wattpad's most beloved writing contests? We encourage you to learn more by visiting the @OpenNovellaContest profile. Many of our writers have begun their Wattys stories with the ONC.

Welcome to a new year! For many of us, January feels like a fresh start. If the previous year was awesome for you (we hope it was), then January might feel like the party is still going. Wherever you find yourself this month, the Bootcamp Mentors acknowledge you and invite you to help yourself to the appetizers.
          
          While it may appear as if we have shut off the lights and let the deejay go, we’re just hibernating and preparing our minds and bodies for another fantastic Wattys bootcamp season. So stay tuned to this space, and while you’re here, take a look around. You might be surprised at the cool stuff you’ll find. And we promise there are more good things to come.

Are you plugging away at your next story? A story you might enter into the Wattys? Wouldn’t it be nice to have a cheering section in your corner? Folks to help you stay focused on the task? Well, you’ve come to the right place. The Bootcamp Mentors community supports writers! 
          
          Although the camp is currently quiet while our team spends time with family and reflection (and reading our to-do pile), we still want to keep everyone engaged and motivated to write each day. So we created a new feature - Write For The Wattys; an ongoing resource for writers working on their Wattys story. 
          
          Have a suggestion for our admin team? Ideas for future workshops? Your opportunity to share them with us just opened up. Looking for story feedback? There’s a chapter devoted to sharing Wattys story links. And, of course, we have stickers! Let’s keep the momentum going.

Hey, there! I know it's been a while, but I'm interested in joining the Mentees program when it finally comes on in March. I hope that I will have enough time to enter the program when the submissions period comes on. I am on my last chapters for the second version of Jinx (Neko Inventor Book 1), and I hope that it will be accepted for the Wattys Bootcamp Mentorship next year when I submit it for submissions.

Thirty days have November, and for our BCM community, those days have been filled with lots of writing. We saw amazing feats of finger tapping strength, and heard the woeful tales of falling asleep at the keyboard and missing a word count goal. But mostly we’ve seen happy emojis.
          
          A huge THANKS goes out to @PrettyInPunkBC for collaborating with us and sharing their enthusiasm and expertise. You’re Awesome! We also want to thank @Wattpad for supporting this community of writers during NaNo. And THANKS to everyone who joined us for this initiative. You all deserve to be celebrated for making it so special.
          
          Speaking of celebrations, we have dedicated a Milestone Makers Showcase chapter in our NaNo Bootcamp book to the folks who went the extra mile and logged over 10,000 words during November. Congrats everyone!
          
          If you participated, and your name is missing from one of our milestone lists, be sure to share your final word count with us, even if you didn’t post your NaNo story on Wattpad. Your efforts deserve to be recognized. You can do that here or in the #milestone-makers Discord channel.
