Wattpad Launches Featured Work Section In Its Redesigned Website

Toronto, Canada, April 27, 2009 -- Wattpad, the world's most popular ebook community, today announced that it is introducing a new "Featured Work" section in its redesigned website. Each month the "Featured Work" section will feature a writer whose work the Wattpad editorial team find interesting. In addition, Wattpad editorial team takes suggestions from members at editor@wattpad.com and is always on the lookout for works of interest.

Writer Erik John Bertel's new ebook "Flores Girl: The Children God Forgot" has been selected as Wattpad's inaugural "Featured Work". "Flores Girl: The Children God Forgot" is about two scientists who unwittingly introduce a small tribe of prehistoric people living in isolation for a million years to the ultimate modern predator: humanity. The novel is about their adventure, combining a clash of cultures, religious ardor with the oldest stories of all: the meaning of friendship and true love.

"Wattpad is an innovative platform that eliminates traditional entry barriers to publishing," said Erik John Bertel. "The worse fate that can befall an author is to go unnoticed and to never find an appropriate audience for their work. Wattpad enables writers like me to bring my work directly to millions of readers in a click of a button."
