Have You Heard of NaNoWriMo?
Posted on November 1, 2021
NaNoWriMo or National Novel Writing Month is finally here!
This month, writers across the world are putting pen to paper (or hands to keyboard?) to turn their ideas into written manuscripts in the space of 30 days.
The challenge is all led by NaNoWriMo. The not-for-profit organisation that started in 1999 in American, now it’s an international phenomenon.
The campaign encourages writers to cut to the chase and get 50,000 words down in just one month. ONE MONTH!!
NaNoWriMo
Writers who’ve published work off the back of NaNoWriMo include Erin Morgernstern’s smash release The Night Circus (if you haven’t read it and love magical stories, read this one now!). Other writers include Sara Gruen’s incredible Water for Elephants (tearjerker, tissues at the ready!) and Marissa Meyer’s debut Cinder.
Some of our team here are taking on the challenge for the first time this year – we’ll keep you updated on how it goes. Let us know if you’re taking on the challenge too, and how you’re getting on over on our Instagram page.
