Support the writers that create the stories you love.


Wattpad Paid Stories is our response to readers who want the opportunity to show support for the writers they love. Writers can now earn money for their work on Wattpad from readers who appreciate it.
The Wattpad community loves supporting stories and the writers who craft them.

From the first time a writer finds their voice to the day their final chapter is uploaded, our community is there cheering.
Paid Stories is born out of our readers’ desire to give back to their favorite writers. Just as Wattpadders love being the first to discover new talent, now they can be the first to support writers taking the next step.



While the majority of the millions of stories on Wattpad will always be free, a small selection will now be available exclusively through this new program. With support from their readers, writers on Wattpad will be able to spend more time focusing on creating more worlds to explore.
How to unlock Paid Stories
How to purchase Coins
You need Coins to read Paid Stories. It’s easy to buy Coins with your Apple or Google Play account. To purchase Coins open the Wattpad app on your mobile device. Tap the wallet on your profile to check your current balance, and load your account.
To purchase Coins select a Coin package. To read a few chapters, select a smaller package, or save money for longer stories by selecting bigger packages.
Once you select your package, enter your App Store or Play Store password, and the purchase will be charged to your account. Your Coin balance will automatically be updated anywhere you use Wattpad.


There are two ways you can support your favorite writers with Paid Stories:
