The Collin College Frisco Campus is celebrating National Novel Writing Month, or NaNoWriMo, with a variety of events throughout November.
The national initiative encourages participants to write 50,000 words throughout the month. The Frisco Campus Writing Center and the Frisco Campus Library are spearheading local efforts, including a collaboration with the Frisco Public Library. The events, which are free and open to the community, include:
- Workshops — These workshops cover a variety of topics to aid participants in their creative writing journey. Community members can attend workshops in-person at the Frisco Campus Writing Center, located at 9700 Wade Blvd. in Frisco, or online via Zoom.
- Come Write-In — These sessions offer opportunities for writers to gather and individually write on a topic of their choice. These events will take place on and off campus and will be hosted by professors and writing consultants.
- Celebration Event — The main event on Nov. 14 will include dinner, activities, selected readings, and a presentation by award-winning author Samantha Mabry.
