《How To: Get More Reads On Wattpad》How To Keep Your Readers Interested [Requested]
Advertisement
Every writer's fear is that they will bore their readers, meaning that people will stop reading your book. There are some ways to keep your readers interested.
1. Update regularly- we have already discussed this. The more content you give your readers, the more you keep them interested.
2. Don't have too many 'filler' chapters. Make sure that something exciting happens every other chapter or so.
3. Use interesting vocabulary and description as this will make them feel like they aren't just reading a string of events.
4. Have cliffhangers at the end of chapters, which will keep readers tense.
5. HINT at things that may happen later on in your authors note (don't give away plot twists however).
Keeping your readers' interest is vital for getting reads because it means that people will continue to read your book right to the end. If you find yourself losing a lot of readers with each chapter you post, maybe ask your readers if they are enjoying the book.
Losing readers is a sign that something has made them lose interest and identifying what that is quickly is crucial. Maybe do a quick spell check or see if you've not really explained things well in that chapter.
If you are bored by your own chapters, that is a sure sign that you need to change things!

A Lonely Spiral
Rye wakes up with a toad in her mouth. From the first day the world is out to make her life miserable as she struggles through living without a sun, through graves and grave threats in the form of man or monster, or even just her innermost doubts and insecurities. Join her as she explores a dark, dark world and slowly, but surely finds her place in it. Or will she? What if the world has no place for a small, weak and uncertain person like her? How will she adapt, if at all, to ever worsening circumstances? (Features a slow-burning progression, many setbacks and a thousand ways to suffer in the age of darkness with a slice of humor to finish it off. Expect the dark-souls of adventure stories. Early chapters are a bit of a mess, but it gets better. If you want to skip forward, I can recommend chapters 19, 26, or 34 as starting points.) Heyo, YJarex here, the Y is silent. This is my first story so please be kind, but don't hesitate to point out flaws or ask questions if things are unclear. I fully intend to continue writing this until it is done some time in the far future. Cover art is a commission by the wonderful hou_jae04. Check them out on Instagram here. Schedule is Tuesday and Thursday with a chance of bonus chapters on Saturday. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Done!
