Write a Book in November

  1. Guidance from the Best: Learn from the best in the industry! Our project is spearheaded by a former National Novel Writing Month Liaison (a person who helps people write their book!) who brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to guide you through the intricacies of writing.
  2. Ask Your Book Writing Questions: There are 3 “Let’s Get Started” events where you can ask your writing questions.
  3. Online Meetups: Connect with fellow aspiring authors and engage in enlightening discussions during our online meetups/write-ins throughout November. Set dedicated writing time, participate in sprints, and witness your story unfold.
  4. In-Person Write-ins in Albuquerque: If you’re in the Albuquerque area, don’t miss the chance to join our in-person write-ins and our “Train” day where we take the Railrunner and write in Santa Fe. Immerse yourself in a focused writing environment, surrounded by like-minded individuals. It’s the perfect setting to enhance your productivity and make meaningful progress on your book.
