Greetings ESL users,

Have you heard about Open Novella Contest (ONC)? No? Be sure to check out OpenNovellaContest account to know more about this big writing event and contest! If you already know about ONC and plan to participate in this year, we have the right thing for you!

To encourage more ESL users to join this writing challenge and to support ESL authors who are already a part of it, we will host a temporary reading list featuring ONC 2023 stories written by ESL users! How amazing is that, right?

We have done these last year and we would love to feature more stories this time. Please scroll down to know more about how to get your story added in this reading list!

Check out the following requirements to know how to get featured in this special reading list!

- You have to be an ESL user which means you use English as a Second Language or your mother tongue isn't English.

- Your stories have to be in English.

- One featured story per person.

- Your story has to be written for this year's Open Novella Contest which is ONC 2023!

- Your story needs to adhere to Wattpad Content Guidelines!

-  Add an ONC tag in your story to make sure that we know your story is for ONC 2023! For example: #onc2023 #opennovellacontest2023 #oncwithesl 

- How to submit: Comment your ONC 2023 story link in the comment section below. Be sure to share more about your stories like your story title, genre, summary or your mother tongue. Don't just drop a link, we and others would love to hear more about your stories!

Remember that:

- This reading list is a temporary one and for writer supporting purposes.

- This reading list will last only during Open Novella Contest time and might come back next year!

- Unfortunately, we only feature English stories by ESL users. Commenting on your story link here means that you guarantee your information related to your language is true!

- There are no exclusive prizes like stickers or etc... since it is for supporting and encouraging the ESL writers.

- This reading list won't consider how good your writing is, we aim to encourage you to keep writing so everyone can join as long as you are qualified for those given requirements.

- Please follow Wattpad Content Guidelines strictly or else we have to remove your story from the reading list without any further notice.

- If you want to get featured in other genre-specific reading list of ours, please check out profile guidebook for more information.

- If your stories focus on friendships or family relationships, do check out WattpadFriendsandFamily's same feature activity right here. 

Thank you!
