About the Company

Wattpad

Global platform connecting readers and writers

Wattpad connects a global community of 90 million readers and writers on a social storytelling platform. Users create, share, and discover stories, building a network around serialized and diverse narratives. The platform monetizes through ads, premium subscriptions, and content monetization, including partnerships with entertainment companies to adapt popular stories into books, movies, and TV series via Wattpad Studios. Wattpad Books publishes popular platform stories as physical books worldwide. Unlike many platforms, Wattpad combines user-generated storytelling with media adaptation and traditional publishing, creating multiple revenue streams while expanding audience reach. Its goal is to give diverse voices a path from digital storytelling to broader audiences through publishing and adaptation.
