You can register for zoom access to any of the planned preparatory workshops for National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo). These workshops are sponsored by the Nichols Library in Napervillle and are provided by NaperWriMo, the NaNoWriMo region that covers the cities and suburbs around Naperville.
National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) is an exciting opportunity to finally write that novel you've always wanted to create. Supported by regional events like this series of October preparatory workshops and November write-ins, you can have fun while making your word count goals.
