Hi,
I've been curious about Wattpad for a while, but I haven't posted anything there yet.
Perhaps someone could help me answer some questions. I didn't see these ones on any other thread.
1. Does posting excerpts (chapters) of a novel on Wattpad mean you have electronically published your book, making a traditional agent and publisher uninterested in said work?
2. If you post something to Wattpad and get a bunch of readers, is that something that might constitute a publishing credit worthy of mentioning in a query letter?
3. What are the risks involved with posting partial novels on Wattpad (for the purposes of testing the waters to see if a story's concept can gain any following)?
Any other pertinent information on the subject would be appreciated.
Stiiiiiv
