We’re only weeks away from Novel November! Make your final preparations and make sure you’ve got enough rocket fuel. We’re about to blast off!

Houston… We are Clear to Launch (Party)

Come see us live on Saturday, October 24 at the Waldo Public Library for our Launch Party! Join us in Room A from 10:00 A.M. -12:30 P.M. to meet fellow writers, learn about who we are and how you can get involved, and experiment with our Preptober activities in person. This event is free and open to anyone who likes writing, is looking for community amongst writers, or is planning to try and write a novel in a month!

After This, Writing Til Dawn Disappears until 2030!

Mark your calendars! Join us on Halloween at 11pm at the Hollis Renewal Center to kick off your Novel November with a 9 hour writing marathon. At midnight, blast off into your galaxy of ideas while participating in costume contests, games, and community bonding while diving into delirium with your fellow writers. Cots will be provided for quick cat naps and breakfast will be provided by your KanMoWriCo Organizers.

This will be the last in-person Writing Til Dawn until 2030.

Starts: 11:00 P.M. October 31

Ends: 8:00 A.M. November 1

Hollis Renewal Center Lodge

11414 Kansas Ave, Kansas City, KS

It is dark at the lodge, but we will have the porch light on and our sign out front so you can feel confident that you’re at the right place.
