National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) is an annual writing event in which writers participate in "the challenge" during the month of November.
The Challenge: Draft an entire novel (a 50,000-word manuscript) in just 30 days.
Good news for teens: The St. Tammany Parish Library Teen Department is here to assist, inspire, and encourage all the budding novelists, not only for the month of November, but all year long! Continue scrolling to find library events, resources, and, naturally, books to advocate and motivate you to create and scribe your works.
