Learn about National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo), followed by Q&A and sign-up. Meet local author, Michele Hurwitz, and discover "Ten things you need to know before you write a novel."

NaNoWriMo (www.nanowrimo.org) is an annual novel writing project that brings together professional and amateur writers from all over the world. We'll provide interested writers with time, space, camaraderie, pep talks, expertise... plus refreshments! This fiction-writing extravaganza encourages writers to create a novel in 30 days – all for the fun of it. All aspiring authors from grade 3 through adult are welcome.

This event is free and open to all. Registration is required. Register online here, by telephone at 224-543-1485, or at any public service desk in the library.
