I've been a writer since 1956. I've seen writing and publishing change a lot over the years. I look forward to exploring the ways Wattpad connects people to reading and writing, and may help give them confidence through feedback from readers. My website is http://www.margaretatwood.ca/ The website for the Maddaddam series is http://yearoftheflood.com/ You can find the Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/MargaretAtwoodAuthor You can follow me on Twitter at http://twitter.com/MargaretAtwood You can find the Positron serial novel I'm writing at http://byliner.com/margaret-atwood I am also an inventor and entrepreneur. Six years ago, the LongPen -- the first it's-really-your-signature in pen on paper, but remotely -- made its debut. It is now part of the services offered by Syngrafii.com; and is also the basis for a writer/creator/fan/reader service being built at http://www.fanado.com/. NEWEST NEWS: The Happy Zombie Sunrise Home, written with Naomi Alderman. You can find four episodes on her Wattpad page now! http://www.wattpad.com/story/2426517-the-happy-zombie-sunrise-home The new picture was taken by Cat Sparks at the Key West Literary Seminar on Speculative Fiction in 2012.

I was surprised to find you here! I've never spoke with an published author before, so it's my pleasure for you to be my first :). I won't pick a favorite...anything. I refuse to put one enjoyable experience above another. But, I like that you took a piece of Canadian history and explored a woman's misfortune with compassion (Alias Grace). Although, I do want to thank you for "Variation of the Word Sleep". From fourteen years old to fifty years old, I always find myself going back to that poem. It inspired the first, and virtually only, poem I ever wrote.

I worked at Borders, books and Music on Michigan Ave., in Chicago when you had your book signing. I asked you, if you had any advice for a new writer and you said, "read everything you can and write every chance you get." The fact that you took the time and gave good sound advice made me an instant fan! I am so happy to see you here!

Just started reading the handmaiden for our English literature coursework and I have to say it's beyond intriguing

What a pleasure to be following you here, Ms. Atwood! Your "Happy Endings" still haunts me to this day, it's such a fluid and powerful writing...

I'm such a fan of the MaddAddam trilogy and can't wait for your third book! I was supposed to read Oryx and Crake for English class and I ended up reading both that and Year of the Flood in less than a week! Your stories are absolutely amazing and the characters are so easy to connect with. You're my all time favourite author :D
