NaNoWriMo’s Young Writers Program

"If there’s one thing I’ve learned from NaNoWriMo, it’s this: Whatever you think you are, you are more than that. Savor the raw joy of making things, and then remake the best of those things until they take someone’s breath away."
— Chris Baty, NaNoWriMo founder

You started this month with big goals: to write a story, a script, or a poem; to revise an old novel or dream up a new one. And whether or not you met that goal this month, you made a step forward. Maybe it was a giant's leap. Maybe it was more like a crawl. The important thing is that you moved in the right direction. All of us at NaNoWriMo are cheering for you!

Can't wait to see what you do next,

Marya Brennan
Young Writers Program Director
