What is it?
The Featured Author Contest allows young, up and coming authors to get a little extra exposure here on Wattpad and on my website. If you enter, you have the chance to be featured on Shay Writes Smiles for a month. This month happening to be May.

How long will I be featured if I win?
For a month. After winning, I'll do a sort of Q+A with you, and put the information up here, and on my Website, for everyone to get a chance to know you better.

How can I enter?
You must be a member of the Wattpad community, and must be following me. To enter, PLEASE include what contest you are entering - but, after that, simply comment your submission here on this chapter!

What should my submission include?
Your submission should include your name (both your username, and/or the alias you choose to potentially show), the title of your most popular book, and why you think you should be considered. For the reasons as to why you should be considered, dig a little deeper. I'm looking for dedicated authors, or dedicated fanfiction authors, who have worked hard to get to where they are today.
If I feel you deserve to be featured for the month, I will contact you directly.

Submission period?
The submission period will run for three weeks.
This submission period begins today May 1st, 2018, and will run until the last day in May.

If I've been picked, when will I know?
During that last week I'll look over the submissions, to which I will contact the winning author.
I will then reveal June's Featured Author on June 4th, 2018.

Thank you to all who enter!

Good luck!

What is it?
The Featured List is similar to that of the Wattpad Picks list, or what was previously known as the 'Featured Category' on Wattpad. I will be virtually hand-picking 10-20 books every three months to feature on my website and social media profiles. I've started this contest as I feel many undiscovered books are still slipping through the Wattpad cracks. It's my mission to find as many undiscovered authors as possible, and because featured author only finds 12 per year, the featured list will help remedy this!

How long will I be featured if I win?
If chosen, your book will be featured for 3 months.

How can I enter?
You must be a member of the Wattpad community, and must be following me. To enter, DO NOT COMMENT HERE! I am only opening submissions through my website for this contest. You will be able to input your information as follows on the form. I'm keeping this chapter's particular comment section open for those submitting to Featured Author. ALL FEATURED LIST SUBMITTERS - HEAD TO MY PROFILE PAGE AND CLICK THE LINK TO MY WEBSITE! There will be a pop-up on the homepage prompting you to 'View the Featured List'. After clicking the link, you will simply scroll down the featured list page until you see the form. Anyone is free to fill it out (all I'm asking for is information that can be found on your Wattpad profile page. Don't be shy!)

Submission period?
The submission period will run for just under 3 months.
This submission period begins today May 1st, 2018, and will run until the last week in July.

If I've been picked, when will I know?
During that last week I'll look over the submissions, to which I will contact the authors.
I will then reveal the next Featured List on August 4th, 2018.

Thank you to all who enter!

Good luck!
