Majority of what you see in the photo above are published books that were once available to read on Wattpad for free.

Based on what I understand, you have a real shot at catching the eye of major publishers here in PH (namely Summit Books & Psicom) if you've got a really AMAZING following on Wattpad. And by that I mean your story's been read millions of times. Of course, you can also try querying them and see if they'd be interested in publishing your story even if you're just starting out but basically the surest way to get pubbed here in PH is to build a following on Wattpad.

Anyway, I think this is really cool and I feel like these books are responsible for reviving the near-moribund publishing industry in PH. I mean sure every year books are still pubbed but there's no excitement about new releases - or at least not until these Wattpad books came along.

It's also great that because of these books younger folks have discovered or rediscovered their love for reading. I hope this trend continues because I really believe that more readers are always good for the country as a whole.

So long story short - hats off to these great writers! You guys are awesome for starting a book craze here in PH and I wish you guys many more sales and readers! 😊

    * This blog is also where I share my theological views and how it affects my life and work as a writer. I consider myself an open-minded Catholic as I also have an uncle who's a Christian pastor. Luke 9:50 Jesus said to him, "Do not prevent him, for whoever is not against you is for you."
    I believe with all my heart that it is our personal relationship with God that saves us and NOT RELIGION.
