You Can Now Announce Your 2021 NaNoWriMo Project!

Are you excited to explore, discover, and create new stories this November? How about joining the biggest community of writers in the world as we embark on a fun and challenging adventure? If you’ve been waiting for the universe to give you a sign that you should write that novel you’ve been dreaming about, then consider this your invitation!

Announce your 2021 NaNoWriMo Project!

You can now officially announce your project for National Novel Writing Month 2021! You can choose the genre you’ll be writing, share an outline or summary, and even connect a Pinterest board or music playlist to your project to get in the brainstorming mood.

Explore what NaNoWriMo has to offer:

• Join a region to find virtual events run by your local volunteer. Find your region here, then join it to get updates from your local Municipal Liaison! (All official 2021 NaNoWriMo events will be held virtually. View more information on this decision.) 
  
  
• Say hello in the forums, and find support and resources. If you’re just getting started, check out the Newbies forum to say hello, the Coffeehouse to check out the conversation, and the Reference Desk forums for any research help for your writing project.
  
  
• Download some digital flair. Let the world know you’re writing by downloading our social media badges and banners! Designed by the wonderful Andrea Floren.
  
  
• Get ready to write with NaNo Prep 101. Our NaNo Prep workbook will help you get ready to reach 50K in November with a 6-week course of guided exercises. Starting September 14, we’ll have themed weekly resources, events, and discussions to help you dive into your story. Or, you can visit the NaNo Prep page and do the exercises at your own pace!
  
  
• Find exclusive deals for NaNoWriMo participants. Every year, we partner with some incredibly generous sponsors. Check out our offers page to find deals on writing software, publishing resources, writing communities, and more!
