We provide the space - you provide the writing!
National
Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) is a fun, seat-of-your-pants approach
to creative writing. On November 1, participants begin working towards
the goal of writing a 50,000-word novel by 11:59 PM on November 30.
Valuing enthusiasm, determination, and a deadline, NaNoWriMo is for
anyone who has ever thought about writing a novel.
How It Works: Committed to writing 50,000 words in the 30 days of November? Follow these easy steps to get started:
1. Fill out your profile
Complete your profile at
www.nanowrimo.org/sign_up so like-minded writers can connect with you. There’s no better place to introduce yourself as an author.
2. Create your novel starting in October
In
order to update your word count in November, you need to give your
novel a title (don’t worry, you can always change it later!). You cannot
write your novel on our site, but you can share a short synopsis and
excerpt.
3. Start Writing
Starting on November 1, update your word count via the dashboard or header menu.
4. Claim Your Win
Starting on November 20, paste the full text of your novel into our word-count validator to win.
