Welcome to Illinois::Naperville, where we are typin' away. As the old song says:
Typin' away again near dear ol' Naperville
Searchin' for that lost chapter of plot...
Representing the western suburbs of Chicago, we are a storied region, defeating Ontario::Toronto, Quebec::Montreal and Ontario::Ottawa in 2005, 2006 and 2007 respectively, and we have terrific partnerships with the Naperville Public Library and with Barnes and Noble. Last year we introduced the Pledge to Publish that goes beyond the November madness of NaNoWriMo to help people prepare to submit their work to publishers and agents. We have many events planned for 2008.
Your co-Municipal Liaisons are:
