NaNoWriMo

National Novel Writing Month is a fun, seat-of-yourpants approach to novel writing. Participants begin writing on November 1. The goal is to write a 50,000-word (approximately 175-page) novel by 11:59:59 PM on November 30.



Valuing enthusiasm and perseverance over painstaking craft, NaNoWriMo is a novel-writing
program for everyone who has thought fleetingly about writing a novel but has been scared away by
the time and effort involved.We’ll be talking about our novelling efforts in the club,
but if you’d like to go to official BYU Write-Ins, join the BYU-Nanoers group.

Four Centuries of Mormon Stories Contest

Here's something you guys might be interested in!

I just wanted to write quickly to inform or remind you that entries under 2,000 words for the Four Centuries of Mormon Stories Contest, which has a prize of $350, are due September 24th toeverydaymormonwriter@gmail.com.

Do not come lightly

“You can approach the act of writing with nervousness, excitement, hopefulness, or even despair--the sense that you can never completely put on the page what's in your mind and heart. You can come to the act with your fists clenched and your eyes narrowed, ready to kick --- and take down names. You can come to it because you want a girl to marry you or because you want to change the world. Come to it any way but lightly. Let me say it again: you must not come lightly to the blank page.”

- Steven King

How to Submit Poetry

3 BOOK PUBLISHERS OPEN TO NOVELS

WritersMarket.com lists hundreds of book publishers for writers of fiction, nonfiction, poetry, writing for children, and more. Here are three looking for novel submissions:  DAW Books, Inc. is one of the rare imprints of Penguin that does not require an agent to make submissions on behalf of writers. The editorial focus at DAW is science fiction and fantasy novels. The editors caution that nearly all their novels are more than 80,000 words long. Milkweed Editions is a literary press based in Minnesota. In addition to novels, this press also publishes nonfiction and poetry. They're currently open to submissions through the end of September. After that, they'll re-open to submissions in January. Grey Gecko Press is a small publisher that accepts about everything—except extreme horror, erotica, and religious fiction. If you're writing in those genres, this isn't the press for you. For everyone else, it might be a good fit. Prospective authors should submit a synopsis and the first three chapters. (NOTE: If you're unable to access the listing, it means you either need to log in or sign up for WritersMarket.com first.) WritersMarket.com lists more than 8,000 publishing opportunities, including listings for contests, magazines, book publishers, literary agents, conferences, and more.
