UHD Writing & Reading Center (WRC) and the W.I. Dykes Library will host National Novel Writing Month's “Write-Ins” for the month of November.

November is National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) during which writers participate by beginning a novel.

The goal is to complete a novel or at least 50,000 words by the end of the month. 

The "Write-Ins" are a place where UHD staff, faculty, students and the general public can convene and work on their novels. At each "Write-In," writers can get feedback on their work from a member of the WRC staff along with light refreshments.

At the end of the month, there will be a closing ceremony that will include a special talk from Daniel Peña, assistant professor of English.

The WRC and library pride themselves on offering valuable services to the UHD community. WRC tutors are dedicated to providing assistance to students by helping them reach a high proficiency of writing. Both organizations encourage everyone to exercise their writing skills as part of NaNoWriMo.
