Hello! First of all, thank you so much for having me. I am honoured to be able to represent Celestia Cove, an inclusive community for writers, in this interview.
I am, like everyone here, a writer and reader. I post my books on @_abhipreeti_ and the support, achievements, and encouragement that I have received from this community, within a short span of time, has always made me feel full. I wanted to create a place for writers and readers like me, who can showcase their talents (mostly through award shows) as writers, judges (and several more in our upcoming projects). And thus, Celestia Cove was created by me on 12th August, 2023, with the sole objective of helping writers, whether they be undiscovered, published, experienced or new.
Besides hosting award shows, we have an interview book where we feature the interviews of Wattpad authors, a hiring page to hire members and even a book feature option in one of our reading lists (more are coming soon!) Everyone is welcome here!

Aah, I miss Mellonia Community too. It was really an amazing time and all the members and heads were so friendly. I don't think I have ever been part of a community which had been so welcoming like Mellonia Community. And wow, thank you for giving me the credit of unintentionally finding Mellonia Community XD. No but seriously, kudos goes to the three of you for managing everything so proficiently.
Well, I'd be honest. My first thought before finding Celestia Cove was that it won't be a community with reviewers, promoters, interviewers, graphic designers, theme designers, etc. I wanted the community to have its theme being something out-of-the-box than all the other communities. Then it came to my realization: as someone who is experienced in hosting and judging award shows, why don't I find one such community with things like book features and interviews and book clubs as side quests?
While awards can be helpful in boosting up your confidence, at times, due to few negative reviews, it can lower your self-esteem too. Therefore, we have awards surrounding several themes. Not just grand awards. We have mini awards, awards meant for new and undiscovered writers, awards done through voting. However not winning anything potentially does not mean you should stop writing. We always try our best to encourage and support authors. In fact, after reading the interviews given by various Wattpad authors, I have received responses from several users that they feel inspired and a need to work harder.
