It's the month full of love, hope, and includes only 28 days! As per usual, it's time to announce our second featured author of 2017!
For those who are unfamiliar, I have started a contest - one that includes the opportunity for all of my readers, both new and old, to be featured on my website, and multiple social media accounts!
That is why, with great pleasure, I am pleased to announce February's featured author, Sophia (@RainstormRobin)!
For those who don't know, Sophia is a poet, the first one I've featured so far!
Over her first year on Wattpad, she's written a total of 12 books, her most popular at the moment being her poetry collection, Word Flutterings.
Upon getting to know Sophia over the last few months, I can tell you that she is a dedicated author, one with enough persistence to get to where she needs to be. When deciding who should win the feature, I took a look at her book of poems (I'll be the first one to say that I'm not usually one for poetry), but after reading into her collection, I knew Sophia had a talent that needed sharing.
One of her poems I suggest you all check out is 'Flirting, Floating' featured in her book Word Flutterings on her profile - it's a masterpiece.
I would like to give a personal congratulations to this amazing author! You will be featured both here, and on my Wattpad!
For anyone that would like to get to know her better, check out the interview on my Wattpad, or down below!
