It is that time of year again – the National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWRiMo) is back.

The City of Armadale will be hosting a range of events to encourage and inspire budding novelists in our region. NaNoWRiMo begins on 1 November and works to empower and encourage creative writing around the world. Aspiring writers are encouraged to participate in this event where you are encouraged to write a 50,000 word novel by 30 November.

Pre-writing: Discover your characters and evolve your story

Monday 17 October, 6.30 – 7.30pm
Armadale Library

Be prepared before you tackle National Novel Writing month and join us for this session to learn some pre-writing skills.

Pre-writing involves developing a better sense of your characters and giving greater thought to story structure.

Rebecca Laffar-Smith, the NaNoWriMo municipal liaison officer for the south-east Perth metropolitan area, will answer any questions during this session.

This session is proudly presented by Write Along The Highway as part of National Novel Writing Month.
