Are you ready to write a novel in 30 days?

Is there a novel inside you that needs to get out? If you are a writer who’s up for a challenge, National Novel Writing Month, or NoNoWriMo, is an annual fiction-writing experience that dares you, along with hundreds of thousands of fellow writers around the world, to complete a 50,000-word novel in just thirty days.

Novelist Gail Hulnick has participated twice, completing the challenge, or "winning" both times. One of her NaNoWriMo novels is now a finalist for a Royal Palm Literary Award. 

But winning takes more than just creative stamina. Gail has taken her lessons-learned and compiled them into a guidebook for you. Here are the tips, tricks, and "hackniques" that will help you cross that finish line. How to prepare, how to pace yourself, how to win the multitude of badges, and, most importantly, how to finish.

If you're new to NaNoWriMo, or even if you're a veteran novelist, you'll find these 100 tips, plus Gail's daily journal entries from her two, month-long writing marathons to be valuable, inspirational, and entertaining as you let the novel that's inside you out onto your own pages.
