Wattpad turns 7 today.  Calling the last 7 years as life changing is an understatement.  Not only for Ivan and me but also for millions of people around the world.



To celebrate the occasion, earlier today Wattpad launched Wattpad Stories, which profiles 7 people whose lives have been transformed by Wattpad.
