Hello from a very stressed teacher!
          	
          	Life has been absolutely crazy, so I apologise if it feels like I haven't been around much lately. I promise I've been lurking in the shadows, but it's just a very busy time of the year (it's been a very busy year period). Just one more month until I can put more of my focus into my writing and making book content again. 
          	
          	Chapter 15 of The Seat Exchange went up on Friday for those of you who didn't see the notification.
          	
          	Read it here: https://www.wattpad.com/story/359814980-the-seat-exchange
          	
          	If you're interested in reading ahead, head on over to Ream. Chapter 31 went up over there on Friday.

          	Which ever chapter you're at, I hope you enjoy it! If you do, please vote and leave a comment. It helps me out a lot (:
          	
          	Have a great week!

Hi Luisa, It's my pleasure Your books are absolutely amazing I was draw to the covers. I'm new here and I was wondering if you had any advice as a seasoned Wattpad author on building my audience and attracting new followers?

@BethanyMinster Hey! I actually do! If you’re interested, I have a discord group where I often answer questions and give advice. Let me know if you’d like the invite code!

As a writer how do you pause your reading to write? It is so difficult for me. #thestruggleisreal

LuisaDituri

@theothersammy Hey! That’s a good question. I will say that I’m not a big reader anymore. I used to read much more, but I’m a lot pickier these days. When I am reading though, I typically will read a bit at night before bed so I can manage to do both. If you’re struggling to juggle, I would highly suggest carving out specific times for both. For example, allowing yourself a hour of reading time, but only after writing for an hour.

Happy May everyone!
          
          I hope you've been enjoying The Seat Exchange. I just wanted to let you know that yesterday we reached the halfway point of that story over on Ream (Chapter 25)! If you'd like early access to my updates as well as my spicy content, please consider subscribing to me over there.
          
          Even if you don't have the means to subscribe, Ream has a follow feature where you can follow me for free (as long as you have an account) and get little bonuses for being so awesome. For example, early release of chapters, and access to my newsletter where you get some special goodies every now and then. It's worth checking out!

Hey! I’ve read Shutout before on here and I was scrolling through the App Store to download apps for books and I came across “Inkitt”
          
          Your book is published on Inkitt, I don’t know if you did it or your book has been copied by someone else but I just wanted to message to make sure you’re aware!
          
          Have a great day! ❤️

Hey! Thank you so much, but I have recently started posting my stories on Inkitt as well to try and reach a wider audience. Thanks for looking out though! ❤️

Hi everyone!
          
          I'm in the process of getting Extra Credit ready to publish (which is very exciting, but also nerve-racking). I have my editor lined up for this September, but I'm looking at making structural changes to the story before handing it off to her.
          
          With that in mind, I'm looking at putting together a team of Alpha Readers. I will need the people who join this group to give me honest and critical feedback regarding my story (e.g., character development, consistency, pacing, plot, and story structure). All selected readers will have to ensure they will be able to submit all of their feedback by July 5th.
          
          If this is something you'd be interested please fill out the application linked here: https://forms.gle/khuo1uWiAJAWkdGi8
          
          As always, I appreciate your support.
          
          Happy reading!

Happy Friday!
          
          The Seat Exchange will be making its debut on Wattpad in one week! The first chapter will be posted Friday April 5th. I’ll be keeping the same posting schedule as Extra Credit with updates coming every Wednesday and Friday @ 5:00pm EST.
          
          If you haven’t already, please go ahead and add it to your reading lists and show it some love. The Wattpad algorithm eats that up.
          
          Want to read the first 15 Chapters? Check me out on Ream!
