Are you an experienced Wrimo who learned the hard way what it takes to win (and stay sane) in November? Your fellow writers want to hear from you!

We're looking for some talented young writers to create participant pep talks for us to publish on the Young Writers Program website this November. This is your chance to be inspiring, give advice, and motivate participants to power through and reach their word-count goals. Check out some author pep talks on the main NaNoWriMo site for more examples (and for your daily dose of inspiration!).

Fill this out by Friday, November 4 to submit a pep talk.

Unfortunately, we probably won’t be able to publish a pep talk by everyone who volunteers, but we’ll try to let you know either way. Be ready to give us a taste of the pep talk you would write in the last box of the form.

And finally, one of my favorite inspirational quotes about writing: “The secret of becoming a writer is to write, write, and keep on writing.” - Ken MacLeod
