The published version of Cupid's Match is out in stores today!!
I can't believe the day has finally come! I started Cupid's Match back in 2015 as a wannabe author writing about cupids on the Internet, and today it actually hits bookstores as an actual book! How is this real life?!?! Thank you all so much for sticking with me for all of this time. I couldn't have done it without you. :)
If you want to get hold of a copy you can get yours from: Amazon, Barnes and Noble, The Book Depository (great for international orders), Indigo, Or wherever books are sold! Links on my Wattpad bio! (--->LEPalphreyman)
(If you get hold of a copy and post a pic on social media, please tag me so I can share it in my insta stories! I'm LaurenPalphreyman on Instagram!)
FAQ
Wait, what? Cupid's Match is being published?!
Yes! In case you missed it, an all new version of Cupid's Match hits bookstores in the US and Canada on 1st October (today!!), and hits stores in the UK on 3rd October!
Is it different to the version on wattpad?
Yes! The version on Wattpad is a very rough draft. I posted chapters for you as I was writing it, and I was figuring out the story for myself as I did so!
The published version is based on the Wattpad version - so it still has all the bits you love - but it's different. I took on board your feedback, I revised and rewrote it with a clearer idea of who the characters were and what I wanted the story to be, and then I worked with some amazing professional editors who tore it apart and helped me put it back together again to make it much much better!
There are lots of new scenes, more character and world development, more Cupid, Cal, and Lila! And the story differs in quite a few places! I'm really proud of it and I'm so excited for you to read all the new bits!!
If Cupid's Match is being published does that mean you're taking it off Wattpad?
Never! The first draft will always remain here for you to read for free. I hope you'll want to check out the new version if you can as it really supports me as an author, but Wattpad has always been the home for Cupid's Match and I don't plan on changing that. You guys supported me, helped shape the story, and even though it's a rough version of the book it holds a special place in my heart!
What if I can't afford to buy the book?
No worries! The first draft will always be free here on Wattpad! You can also ask your local library to stock Cupid's Match so you can borrow it for free!
I'm also planning on running some Cupid's Match giveaways in future!

Thank you all so much for your support. When I first started writing on Wattpad I had no idea anyone would want to read my action- packed supernatural book about cupids, arrows, and general mythological mayhem! I'm so often overwhelmed by all your kindness, votes, jokes, and comments. Writing is hard, and it can be a lonely process. It has been such a blessing to have you all here with me, keeping me going and making it so much fun. I'm so grateful, and I'm so excited for all the things yet to come!
Lots of love to you all!
Lauren
