About NaNoWriMo
For more than 20 years, every November, hundreds of thousands of writers come together with the goal of writing a 50,000-word novel in one month.
Last year, more than half a million writers participated.
Hundreds of the novels written as part of this project have even been traditionally published, including Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen, The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern, Wool by Hugh Howey, Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell, The Darwin Elevator by Jason Hough, and Cinder by Marissa Meyer.
Each year, participants also get mentorships from top authors. Past author mentors have included Gene Luen Yang, Roxane Gay, Kacen Callender, John Green, Andy Weir, N. K. Jemisin, and Veronica Roth.
