What are the Novel November 24-hour sprints?

During Novel November, we host 24-hour writing sprints where you can write alongside the rest of the community. They're a great way to stay motivated, get a little accountability, and share the experience with other writers working toward the same 50,000-word goal.

You don't have to write for the full 24 hours

The sprint runs for 24 hours, but you don't need to be there the whole time. Pop in whenever suits you, write with the community for as long as you like, and drop out when you're done. Even a short session can give you the accountability and momentum to keep going.

When are the sprints?

We're hosting three 24-hour sprints during Novel November:

• Kick-off sprint — 1 November. Start the challenge strong and get your first words down alongside the community. Register for the kick-off sprint.
• Midpoint sprint — 15 November. A halfway boost to keep your momentum going. Register for the midpoint sprint.
• Finale sprint — 30 November. One last push to reach your goal before the challenge ends. Register for the final sprint.

How to join a sprint

The sprints take place in our ProWritingAid Community, so you'll need to join the Community and create a community profile before you can take part. Once you've done that, open the event listing for the sprint you'd like to join (linked above) and join in when it's live.
