Smashwords Partners with Wattpad

Good news for independent authors. EBook community Wattpad has partnered with eBook publishing and distribution platform Smashwords. Both services are free for authors, who can use Wattpad to build a community and Smashwords to self-publish and sell works.

Under the terms of the agreement, Wattpad and Smashwords will cross-promote each other and they will integrate services.

Wattpad gets about 10 million visits a month, which could mean a pretty big audience for an indie writer.

Create a social media strategy, launch your campaign, and track the results in our Social Media Marketing Boot Camp starting February 16. The online event and workshop will feature speakers including The Onion‘s Baratunde Thurston (left), Facebook’s Morin Oluwole, and bitly’s Tim Devane. Register now.
