Reaching a Global Audience of Readers through Wattpad (Allen Lau at Publishers Launch Frankfurt 2013)
Reaching a Global Audience of Readers -- Presented by Allen Lau, CEO and Co-Founder, Wattpad At Publishers Launch Frankfurt, Frankfurt Book Fair, 8 October 2013 Wattpad has a fast-growing user base of over 15 million members, including readers and emerging writers from the English-speaking world as well as from Spain, Mexico, Germany, the Philippines, Vietnam, the BRIC countries, Singapore, Saudi Arabia, and elsewhere around the globe. Wattpad will describe how some pioneering publishers are using the Wattpad platform as a marketing tool: building author-reader connections, publishing original short stories and prequels within existing series, and creating direct relationships with an increasingly global audience that buys their ebooks. And they'll point to the major markets where their user base is growing quickly, like Germany.
