The Office of Letters and Light loves books. We love them so much that we encourage kids, teens and adults all over the world to write a book every November during National Novel Writing Month! And now we are taking this noveling mission to independent bookstores all over the Bay Area with our pilot project Come Write In!: Independent Bookstores.
Participating bookstores are opening their doors to local November novelists, and helping us build a relationship between local writers and our book-loving bookstore neighbors! Bookstores will receive a customizable press release, a free Come Write In! kit, and the adoration of our participants and supporters from Petaluma to Mountain View.
A complete listing of participating bookstores and the dates and times they are hosting participants is included below. If you work in a bookstore and would like more information, please get in touch!
If you are a participant and would like to Come Write In!, let us know via the link next to each bookstore below.
See you in November!
