Join Indy Reads from 6pm-7pm every Thursday in November (except Thanksgiving on 11/27) to celebrate NaNoWriMo with a write-in night!
About this Event

Join us at Indy Reads for NaNoWriMo, better known as National Novel Writing Month! During NaNoWriMo, participants around the world attempt to write a 50,000+ word novel during the month of November. Novelists are not the only writers who use the month of November to generate work; writers of all genres, working on all projects are welcome to join us for one-hour of writing time throughout the month.

These informal write-ins are perfect for writers who want a space for accountability, something different, or even to bounce ideas off of other writers. Bring your current project or use one of the prompts provided by other local writers and collected by Indy Reads to start something new!

Writers of all levels and ages are welcome to drop-in to Indy Reads' community bookstore between 6pm-7pm to work during any or all of the Write-Ins:

Thursday, November 6

Thursday, November 13

Thursday, November 20

CLOSED - Thursday, November 27

Happy reading (and writing)! We'll see you soon!
