How do I delete my NaNoWriMo profile?

To have your profile deleted, please sign into your NaNoWriMo account, and then click on the General Contact form link on our Contact page and send us a message requesting profile deletion.

Being signed in when you send this message confirms your identity as the account-holder with our robots, and prevents people from maliciously requesting the deletion of other participants' accounts.

Because of the way our database and forums are set up, we can delete your profile immediately if all of the following are true:

  • You have no posts in the forums of the NaNoWriMo site
  • You have no posts in the forums of the Script Frenzy site

If we cannot delete your profile immediately, we can still help by disabling all mail, notifications, and regional affiliations. Your account will then automatically be cleared out when NaNoWriMo relaunches on October 1.
