The 2021 National Novel Writing Month season is underway! We will hold four virtual preparatory workshops in October. The popular Library Crawl is back to offer writers plenty of opportunities to work on their novels at write-ins while earning chances for nice prizes at the TGIO (Thank Goodness It's Over) Party December 4th.

Consider joining the Writing Journey, our year-round writing group (it's free!).
