In the days of yore writers would scratch at their paper in isolation (I'm talking before the roaring literary salons of Paris, London and New York). Nowadays, we peck away at our keyboards, with the occasional flurry of longhand journalling, but no longer in isolation.
There is the wonderful Wattpad, which you have already stumbled across but there are lots of other places writers lounge. Which is where you, glorious readers, come in. We no longer have patrons to support the arts but we do have readers. Smart, witty readers who know their way around a social media landscape or two. Goodreads, Facebook, Pinterest. Ha! You laugh at the simplicity of these platforms.
Thank you so much for all the time you've already spent on The Cultivated Girl, reading, voting, commenting and letting me know how much you've enjoyed it. You have no idea how much that means to an author... maybe you have an inkling but really, it makes teeny, tiny feathered wings sprout from my ankles so I soar through the day.
If you'd like to flaunt your obviously good taste in books and skills in the digital world to help an author out, this is where you can find me :-).
Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/PixEnglish . They have an entire section dedicated to Wattpad books, so even if you don't want to leave a review for mine (oh, go on, just a few lines), support one of your favourite Wattpadders, there are heaps on there.
Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PixEnglish/ . Just a humble author page to 'like' :-).
Pinterest: http://pinterest.com/PaulineH2O . This is where you will see some of the images in this book, as well as some of my random interests. You may get a few peeks in to what to expect from the sequel, The Warrior Princess.
Twitter: https://twitter.com/PaulineH2O . I must confess, I'm not that active here. There aren't enough hours. But I have discovered a whole nest of Wattpad authors here that I already know and they're great to hang out with so I may start nosing around a bit more.
Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pixenglishwriter/ . An iris into my heart and what stokes my soul. Voyeurs only! :-)
And of course, let the world know if you loved The Cultivated Girl!
There are lots of buttons to click right on Wattpad to do just that.
It's easy.
Thanks again for all the love.
