NANOWRIMO 2024

National Novel Writing Month is the largest writing project on the planet! We’ll give you tips and tricks to write a 50,000-word novel in 30 days. Think you can’t do it? Yes, you can!

In this interactive workshop, aspiring writers will develop their storytelling skills, discover their unique voice, and craft the first draft of a new piece, whether it is a short story, poem, or nonfiction. Local authors Bill Gillard and Tom Cannon will lead fun exercises and group discussions to help participants to learn about plot development, character creation, showing vs. telling, creating tension, and how to engage a reader. Bill and Tom will provide advice to aspiring writers on their projects and share their experiences in the publishing world. Everyone is welcome! Lower Level
