Hello, Wattpaders!
          
          May is here, which means it's Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month (AAPIHM)! AAPIHM is a time to celebrate Asian and Pacific Islander history and culture. We understand such a time cannot be contained within a month, so we have curated a reading list dedicated to highlighting Asian and Pacific Islander voices in the Wattpad community. To access the full list, please visit this link here: 
          https://www.wattpad.com/list/1419521886-celebrating-asian-&-pacific-islander-voices-in-romance
          
          We also recommend checking out our AAPIHM contest, inspired by Asian and Pacific Islander culture. Favorite submissions written by Asian and Pacific Islander authors will earn an opportunity be featured on the participating profiles, including @APIFantasy and @APIRomance: https://www.wattpad.com/1437577353-asian-american-pacific-islander-heritage-month

Hello API Fantasy & Fiction Authors!
          
          As some of you may have noticed, Private Messaging (PMs) will no longer be available on Wattpad and existing conversations will no longer be available effective May 6, 2024.
          
          This affects how we distribute prizes for our contests and reach out to the community for author interviews. Going forward, we will reach out to folks in our Discord community or via their message boards for interview requests. Prize allocation will be delivered via Discord.
          
          If you are interested in joining the Discord where many members of our community have already migrated for continued engagement, please send us a private message BEFORE May 6 or email us at asianpacificislanderromance@gmail.com to get an invite link.
          
          We understand this change is hard for everyone, but we want to show that we are here to continue supporting as best we can, even if that means supporting growth off Wattpad.
          
          Thank you for your support,
          The Asian & Pacific Islander Romance Team
