Come along for a writing adventure! November is National Novel Writing Month, a time for writers old and new alike to take on an exhilarating challenge to write 50,000 in just 30 days. Wolcott Public Library is here to support you with our weekly writing group just for November.
Connect with fellow writers and get your creative juices flowing every Friday during November 2024 at 11 AM in the upstairs reading room. Non-novelists welcome; if you write poetry, short stories, personal essays, or anything else, set your own challenge and find camaraderie here.
