Press release from the Laramie County Public Library:
Get
ready with your laptops, pens and paper (or even quills and parchment!)
for National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo)! Participants begin
writing on November 1 and must finish their novel on or before November
30. The Laramie County Library will host several events for adults and
teens.
The
kick-off will be Thursday, November 1, from 6:00-7:30 pm in the Willow
Room. We’ll have plenty of food and drink available as you buckle down
and get writing for this annual challenge. Bring everything you need to
make this a successful hour and a half and get started on your 50,000
words!
Next,
on Saturday, November 10, 10:00am-4:00 pm in the Cottonwood Room,
participate in a one-day workshop designed to help you navigate the next
steps toward publication of your novel. Paths to Publication will
have you joining seven Wyoming authors for a day of workshops filled
with insights into the journey from “the end” to publication. These
workshops are designed for teen and adult novelists at all levels.
Have
some crazy fun on Thursday, November 15 from 6:00-7:30 pm in the Willow
Room, where you’ll be designing your own book cover. Now’s your chance
in this hands-on workshop to create your own cover for a blank book that
could be used as a journal, sketchbook, recipe anthology, or even the
first draft of your novel! We provide all the supplies needed – just
bring your imagination. Sign up required for this – call 307.634.3561, or visit the library.
The
final event for NaNoWriMo will be the wrap-up party on Sunday, December
2, 3:00-4:00pm in the Willow Room. Prizes will be given to everyone who
finishes their 50,000 words on time!
Laramie County Library is located at 2200 Pioneer Avenue, Cheyenne. For more information call the library at 307.634.3561.
