Get Ready for National Novel Writing Month

Get your novel out of your head and onto paper (or into the cloud) with help and encouragement.

National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) is celebrating its 16th year of empowering diverse voices, supporting writers in the classroom, and building creative writing communities around the world.

NaNoWriMo challenges people to write 50,000 words of a novel in the 30 days of November.

This year, NaNoWriMo expects 400,000 participants from 616 affiliated chapters across six continents. “Every year, we’re reminded that there are still stories that have yet to be told, still voices yet to be heard from all corners of the world,” says Executive Director Grant Faulkner. “NaNoWriMo helps people make creativity a priority in life and realize the vital ways our stories connect us. We are our stories.”
