Add to Calendar

Join your fellow writers for a supportive time of quiet writing, while enjoying light refreshments and tea!

November is National Novel Writing Month, and although the over 20-year old challenge was originally to write 50,000 words in one month, you can write as much as you want this month and still succeed! 

All adults, and writers of any level, are welcome to this quiet session of writing. Bring your current project, or even a blank page, and work in a space filled with the creative energy of your fellow writers. Stuck on the next plot beat? Need a fresh new premise to work with? Prompts are available for those interested. Light snacks and tea are also available to help fuel your creativity!

Registration is preferred but not required.

If there is a disability accommodation that would enable you to participate more fully in this program, please let us know with as much notice as possible by calling the information desk at (732) 204-4700 ext. 7286, and we will do our best to help you.

This program is made possible through the work of The Friends of South Brunswick Public Library. We are grateful for their support in all that we do!
