Wattpad is a free to use website that allows you to create and share your own novels. It was released in 2006 and remains, in my opinion, one of the easiest to use create systems. It allows you to write and add pictures or videos to enhance the reading experience with ease. However, it's downfall is in it's sharing feature. The website promotes big, award winning books while the normal, small writers like myself get pushed back making it hard to be noticed. To illustrate my point, another style website, Webtoon allows users to post comics rather than novels. It offers a discover page similar to a blog where the newest post is on top. This gains you instant support and feed back from other users. Wattpad however goes off of key words in the title making other books pop up before yours. I would rate Wattpad a 5 out of 5 if it's sharing system was better. However until that's fixed I have to give it a 3 out of 5. You can explore this tool at www.wattpad.com

This looks really cool. Seems like a great way to start learning how to make simple comics.
