Extra! Extra! The new website launched! Read all about it . . .
New Author Profiles!
Once you are signed up and signed in, check out "My NaNoWriMo" and look at the menu bar on the left. Click on the menu items to edit your Author Info (stuff about you), your Novel Info (stuff about your upcoming novel), and your user settings (boring, but really important tech stuff).
100% Awesome Workbooks!
We promise that these workbooks are non-boring and super-helpful. We’ve out them together to help you create characters, outline your plot, come up with your settings, and keep you writing all November long!
Challenge a Friend!
Nothing makes NaNo better than noveling with a friend. That is what is so cool about NaNoWriMo—you’re doing it with over 100,000 people worldwide. The more the merrier. Invite all your friends to write alongside us this November!
The Famous Forums!
As always, these forums will be bustling with budding authors this fall. The forums might not be new, but we have to say that they sure look a lot better this year. So post away in style!
Pep Talkers!
This year we will be sending out pep talks from YA and children’s authors that you know and love. Check out the line up. If you’re interested in receiving pep talks in November from any of these authors go to “Edit User Settings” in "My NaNoWriMo" and make sure the “No NaNoWriMo emails” box is un-checked.
If you have any questions about National Novel Writing Month’s Young Writers Program, check out the About section and our FAQs.
Counting down until November,
Tavia
