NaNoWriMo: Write Your Novel in November
November 2026. Entries are open until the end of the month.
November is National Novel Writing Month, and this contest is for everyone taking it on. Enter a series you are writing this November, publish chapters as you go, and let readers follow along. The series with the strongest reader response at the end of the month wins US $100 by PayPal and 12 months of Premium on Writers Grove.
Only chapters published in November count, so a series that starts on the first has as fair a chance as one that has been running for a year. Keep publishing through the month: every new chapter is another chance to be read, followed and rated.
Entries close at the end of November (UTC). The winner is announced on December 1.
How it works
Authors sign up on the Contests page with the PayPal address the prize goes to, agree to the Contest Terms and Conditions, and enter one published series from its dashboard. At the end of the month each entry is scored on how readers responded during the month: how many signed-in readers opened chapters published that month, how many of them followed the series, and how its books were rated by readers who read them. The winner is picked on the first of the next month and takes US $100 by PayPal and 12 months of Premium; second and third place take 6 months of Premium, fourth and fifth 3 months, and sixth to tenth 30 days. The standings are published here once the month is scored. An author can win once.
