Most importantly, we believe that stories matter. In 2012, we served more than 450,000 participants all around the world.

Our programs include:

National Novel Writing Month, which encourages people to make time for creative projects by committing to writing 50,000 words of a novel in the 30 days of November.

The Young Writers Program, which provides free resources, curriculum, and virtual tools to educators of creative writing around the world.
