Rules:

1. One suggestion is to please add Workshop: Tips, Suggestions, and Growth into your reading list. It does not have to be your public one. It can be your private library.

2. Also another suggestion is please follow me because this helps with communication on news and updates; for example, if there's an emergency or something. Hopefully, everything will go smooth sailing. This is up to you, no pressure. :)

3. You can only submit one WIP. It can be a novel, short story, or poem. This gives a chance for other fellow writers to submit their WIP.

4. Complete the form, which is provided on the next chapter.

5. Please be patient. I'll be honest. I get stressed out easily. Therefore, I'll have open slots up to the first four people. We'll go in a month structure. One WIP per week.

It's a first come, first serve to whoever follows the rules and completes the form correctly. When Workshop is reopen, if you have submitted your form when it's close, you'll have to resubmit a new form.

6.  Please no smut/erotic throughout the entire WIP.
If there is any, sadly I will decline the WIP. Also, no WIP promoting or glorifying rape, substance abuse, incest, self-harm, and underage relationships (anyone under 16 years old in a relationship with someone older).

7. I'll say this to be clear. This is not a place for vote for vote, comment for comment, or any other "I scratch your back if you scratch mine" situations. Here are the reasons to this rule.

One reason being it's against Wattpad's Code of Conduct (the external link at the bottom).

Second reason, those votes or comments are not genuine.

Personally, I want a reader who truly cares for the story. They are so moved by the characters, the detailed description within my stories, the plot, or other points that they have an emotional connection with the story.

When I see someone vote or comment, I get cheery! I start doing a little dance. When the next thing the person says is "can you read my story" or "can you vote and comment on my story" or anything on the lines of those sentences. I shut down. I get doubtful because I start to think they only voted on the story to get a vote from me.

Workshop is not the place for trades. 

Therefore, if I do vote on your story. That's a genuine vote!

Thank you for being patient with me! That one was a long rule.

8. Please let me know if there are any titles or username changes. So then it's easier to find you and keep track. Thank you!

What I'll do (once you obtain a spot):

1. I'll read the first five chapters in a novel.

or

I'll read the first 5,000 - 8,000 words in a short story (ten to fifteen pages).

or

I'll read eight poems.

2. I'll send feedback (strengths and one recommendation) through PM. With your permission, I'll post your book review/feedback on here! I'll include a link to your WIP and dedicate the chapter to you (so then readers can check out your profile).

Environment:

This is a safe and fun environment for all short stories, novels, and poems. Workshop is where writers ask for advice, ranging from organization, plot, sentence structures, hook, and many more.

If I see any harsh, mean, and inappropriate comments. It will not be tolerated. I'll decline your form.

Now, on to the form!
