KidlitWriMo is coming

NaNoWriMo is no more, but I liked having a yearly group writing challenge, so I’ve created KidLitWriMo, a 30 for 30 writing challenge for #kidlit writers.

I always had to adapt NaNoWriMo’s 50K word count goal because most of the children’s books I write aren’t that long. That’s why this challenge will be counting time, not words.

Q. How does it work?
A. Write 30 minutes a day for 30 days in October and post your writing time in our private Facebook Group. To find out more, visit the KidLitWriMo FAQ page.
