NaNoWriMo

Every year, people around the world participate in National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo). The Challenge: write a novel in a month. We do our own version 2x a year in October and March.

1. Sign up

​5th grade and up can sign up by talking to Eric (aka Mr. Rampson) or clicking the button below. 
NaNoWriMo 2022 Sign-Up

2. Write

Get writing as soon as the month starts so you can reach your word count goal. Remember that this goal is the minimum number of words you need to complete your NaNo challenge--you can always surpass your goal!

Word Count Goal by Grade:
5th: 8,000
6th-8th: 10,000
​9th-12th: 12,000

3. Meet

Our writing expert Eric holds optional weekly write-ins for each grade. What's a write-in? You get to eat lunch in the library while doing writing sprints and getting showered with candy when you complete a sprint goal.

4. Celebrate

Cupcake party
At the end of the month, everyone who participated in NaNoWriMo can come to our cupcake celebration in the library.

Get your book published
If you meet your target word count you can get your book published! We'll print two copies: one for you to keep and one for the library.
