NaNoWriMo Young Writers Program
National Novel Writing Month’s Young Writers Program provides kids and teens with a month-long creative experience that improves self-esteem, teaches perseverance, and radically alters their relationships with writing and literature.
We do this through a youth-oriented website where kids and teens can mingle, get advice from beloved writers, and find inspiration as they tackle a challenge they’ll never forget. And we do it through our free resources for educators: Common Core-aligned curriculum and workbooks, and a classroom kit featuring a full-color progress chart, stickers, buttons, and certificates.
In 2010, over 42,000 kids and teens and 1,800 classrooms worldwide took part in NaNoWriMo’s Young Writers Program. In 2011, we’re expecting over 2,000 classrooms to spend November writing novels.
