<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:Roboto">This talk connects newly intensified feminization of work in publishing to bibliotherapeutic ideas about writing and reading as forms of care – self-care and care for others. I am using
the Wattpad platform as a case study. This is a social media style self-publishing platform: mostly free to use, mostly unpaid, but with affective ‘rewards’ of fandom, ‘likes,’ shares, and community. The talk also considers how some representative Wattpad
fiction reflects industry transformations. I highlight two tendencies. One is to treat fiction as a conduit to the therapeutic mirroring process of having one’s own experiences seen and acknowledged via reflection in narrative. The other is to envision writing
as the creation of an inclusive caring community that celebrates deviation from normative identities and values. These are conceptions of writing that the Wattpad company is itself materially invested in, so it seems worthwhile to consider the implications
of this unique convergence of platform and content.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
