-Meet some Wattpad celebs! We’ll be having a meet and greet with Brittany Geragotelis (Suddenly Starlet and Life’s A Witch) and Caitlyn Duffy (The Rock Star’s Daughter)
-Get a sneak peek at what we’re working on at Wattpad HQIf you can make it, please RSVP (be sure to let us know if you’re bringing guests!) and leave a comment with a link to your Wattpad profile (we need it for some fun games we’ve got up our sleeve).
See you in NYC!
