What is a Municipal Liaison?
Municipal Liaisons are local volunteers who help organize NaNoWriMo groups in their hometowns. Being an ML can be serious work, but it’s also a lot of fun. What could be more rewarding than the undying love, devotion, and gratitude of your fellow writers? (Besides finishing a novel in 30 days, of course.) Applications are closed for 2012, but you can learn more about what’s involved and get ready to apply in 2013!
Here’s who we’re looking for:

  • You’re over 18 years old. We know our younger crew is full of boundless energy and great ideas, we just don’t want to be the reason you don’t get into college.
  • You’ve done (and won!) NaNoWriMo before. Writing a novel in 30 days is insane; writing a novel in 30 days while trying to wrangle a posse of itinerant novelists is, well, more insane. We just prefer you know what you’re getting into with the first NaNoWriMo before you sign-on to ML for the second.

Here’s a basic overview of what you’ll need to do. If your application is accepted, you’ll receive the ML Agreement, which covers this in more detail:

  • Commit to the whole event. If you sign up, we need you to show up. And not just for the kick-off party. We need people who aren’t going to fade into the background as soon as the word count gets tough. Your fellow writers are depending on you to stick around all the way through to December.
  • Coordinate meetings and events. Kick-offs, TGIO parties, weekly write-ins – you’ll be organizing them, hosting them, and letting everyone know about them through regional messages, forum posts, and your regional Google Calendar.
  • Answer every email. Don’t know the answer? Refer their questions to HQ.
  • Be present in your regional forum. Make sure people’s questions are being answered, events are announced in a timely manner, and that everyone is playing nice.
  • Engage in some light fundraising. Whether you post a link in your Regional Lounge, send out an email to participants, or pass around a cup at write-ins, your fundraising efforts help keep NaNoWriMo churning out the magic.
  • Reach your 50,000 words. Okay, we can’t hold you to that, but it’s much easier to be a role model to your troops when you actually accomplish the task.
  • Read emails and messages from HQ. Participants will be looking to you for answers, and you’re often the voice of HQ in your region. We’ll keep you as up-to-date on goings-on as we can, but you’ll have to read our emails!
  • Whatever else floats your boat! Hound local press for coverage, work with local schools… you know, over-achieve! We’ll have resources available for you to learn more about the possibilities open to you.
