NaNoWriMo Programs - Springfield Public Library

November is National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) and it is your time to write your novel! NaNoWriMo is a month-long event that encourages kids and adults to tackle the challenge of writing a novel in November. Participants pledge to write 50,000 words in a month, starting from scratch and finishing by November 30. In 2014, over 325,000 participants wrote novels.

This fall, the Springfield Library will be one of several hundred libraries, bookstores, and community centers opening their doors to novelists as part of the Come Write In program. In addition, Springfield Library will be hosting programs to support the efforts of fledgling authors.

Co-hosted by Wordcrafters in Eugene, the write-in is a gathering of writers and NaNoWriMo participants who are working on current creative writing projects. There may be timed writings to keep focused and brief discussions to resolve issues with characters, settings, or plots. Participants should bring writing materials and a current writing project.
