- Fill in the boxes with the title of your story, the description/summary of your story, and add your tags. Really you want too use as many tags as Wattpad will allow.
Using tags such as 'assassin', 'alpha', 'romance', 'gxg', 'war', etc, will mean that your story will come up when people search for stories using those words.
- Personally I don't add 'Main Characters' but if you're writing fanfiction you should consider doing it.
- To add a cover click the rectangle with the mountain and sun on it. You have two options to upload a cover or create one using Canva.
Scroll down and you will see this:

- Select your genre, target audience, language and copyright from the individual drop down lists.
- Your book rating will be set to off as a default. If your book has mature themes (Violence, sex, strong language) then click in the off box and it will change to 'On'.
When choosing what to set your copyright as I personally would choose 'All rights reserved'. If you are unsure when you select any of the options it will come with a brief explanation below as to what that means.
Now when I started Wattpad the create cover option had very few options but now it takes you to the Canva website which you will need to make an account for and there is both a paid and free option.
