Marathon runners do it. Walk-a-thonners do it. And now Wrimos can do it too!
You can get friends and family to sponsor your novel-writing month through Firstgiving.com. All proceeds from sponsorships go to NaNoWriMo's parent 501(c)(3) nonprofit, the Office of Letters and Light to pay for this year's Young Writers Program and adult main program. For more information on how those donations are spent, check out our Where Your Donations Go page.
Sponsorees receive donor thank-you gifts from the Office of Letters and Light at their total, combined sponsorship level, and your sponsors get the satisfaction of knowing they've supported your writing and helped 120,000 kids and adults reach their creative potential.
Interested? Head on over to the Office of Letters and Light's NaNoWriMo Sponsorship start page and set up an account!
(If you're looking to create a sponsorship page to raise money to attend the November 15th Night of Writing Dangerously Write-a-thon in San Francisco, that's a different Firstgiving start page, located here.)
