Wattpad has a predominantly young audience of 70 million users, who collectively spend 22 billion minutes per month on Wattpad content.

Wattpad’s stories have also attracted some big-name studios so far, including Netflix, who adapted The Kissing Booth into a film last year, and Sony Pictures TV, which has acquired the rights to Death Is My BFF.
