Peoria Public Library Hosting National Novel Writing Month Challenge

Press release from the Peoria Public Library:

11/02/20

So, what is NaNoWriMo?
National Novel Writing Month began in 1999 as a daunting but straightforward challenge: to write 50,000 words of a novel in thirty days. Now, each year on November 1, hundreds of thousands of people try to meet that challenge. They enter the month as elementary school teachers, mechanics, or stay-at-home parents. They leave novelists.

While traditionally the goal for NaNoWriMo is 50,000 words in a month, PPL is giving this Challenge the 2020 treatment. We will accept a written work of any length. Please keep the content PG-13.

Peoria Public Library invites all taking part in NaNoWriMo to send us their completed submission by 11:59 p.m. Nov. 30.

Email it to programming@ppl.peoria.lib.il.us. (Condense the file so we will receive it.)

We'll have our expert readers chose a "winner" so to speak and promise to print your piece, adding it to our collection.

We'll also invite you to tell your NaNoWriMo story on our YouTube channel and read an excerpt.

And good luck!!
