The Brigham City Library is inviting writers to participate in its National Novel Writing Month program, offering participants the opportunity to set personal writing goals and compete for prizes by reporting weekly word counts and attending qualifying events.
Program Goals and Registration
While the typical National Novel Writing Month goal involves writing 50,000 words during the month of November, the Brigham City Library has stated that its specific goal is for participants to meet their own individual writing goals. The writing period for the program began at 12:00 a.m. on Sunday, November 1, and is scheduled to continue until 11:59 p.m. on November 30.
To participate in the program, individuals must declare a personal goal by registering by Saturday, November 14, 2026. The library provides a registration option online or via telephone by contacting Alisha at 435-723-5850.
Earning Prizes and Celebrating
Participants can earn points toward prize drawings by visiting the library's dedicated NaNoWriMo web page to report their weekly word counts. Additionally, attending qualifying library events serves as another way for writers to accumulate points for these drawings.
Once the writing period concludes, participants are encouraged to report their final word counts. The library also hosts an Open Mic Night to allow writers to celebrate their accomplishments alongside other members of the writing community.
Scheduled Library Events
The Brigham City Library has scheduled several NaNoWriMo-related events to support the writing community. These upcoming activities include author events featuring Heather B. Moore and Michelle Wright.
Other scheduled programming consists of a Speed Date with a Book multi-author panel, a writing critique workshop, and writing frenzies. The library also offers a writing challenge and critique workshop as part of its seasonal programming.
