Abstract

Wattpad was co-founded in 2006 by the two Canadian engineers and co-workers Allen Lau and Ivan Yuen as an online community of writers and readers, “a platform for aspiring and experienced authors, allowing them to publish their work, get feedback and connect with other writers and readers” (Bold, 2016:4). Wattpad is thus based on user-generated contents and has also been described as the “YouTube for stories (without video)” (Bold, 2016:4). Furthermore, it combines all the affordances of both social networks and publishing platforms.
