NaNoWriMo’s Young Writers Program (YWP) takes that joyful, focused approach to creative writing and makes it accessible to young writers, educators, and families. Participants aged 18-and-under can sign up for accounts at ywp.nanowrimo.org. Educators can create online classrooms to lead creative writing programs and stay connected with their students.
The Young Writers Program allows participants to set individualized goals and use the progress-tracking tools on our site to stay on track. If no official event is happening, you can create a personal challenge with your own deadline for a new or existing project.
Young writers can write directly in their YWP writing space (or in a separate document), find inspiration in our noveling resources, and tap a worldwide community of fellow writers for support in our forums.
