National Novel Writing Month, also known as NaNoWriMo, begins Sunday, November 1, and runs until midnight on November 30. To participate, novelists sign up and commit to writing a 50,000-word draft manuscript in 30 days. That’s about 1,667 words a day! It’s quite a commitment, but there’s plenty of support along the way. You can commiserate and celebrate the highs and lows of your NaNoWriMo writing journey on the NaNoWriMo Facebook page or by adding the hashtag #nanowrimo to your tweets on Twitter. We’ll also be cheering you on at Bublish with inspirational quotes and educational posts, so follow us on Twitter @BublishMe and like us on Facebook.
NaNoWriMo attracts both aspiring and veteran authors. Now in it’s sixteenth year, the annual event boasts hundreds of thousands of participants writing billions of words. Here’s how Bublish can help you accomplish several important goals during NaNoWriMo 2015:
Try Bublish for free during NaNoWriMo, and you can:
- Write your book using Bublish’s eBook Creator. Our Cloud-based system let’s you input content on the left-hand side of the screen and select layout templates on the right-hand side of the screen. When you’re finished with your manuscript, you can export it either as a Word document for editing and proofreading OR as an ePub file ready to distribute to all the major online retailers.
- Engage readers WHILE you’re writing. Share excerpts and insights right from your manuscript with Bublish’s “rough cut” book bubbles. They take only moments to create, so they won’t distract you from writing. They will, however, help you engage readers, get valuable feedback on your manuscript and share your creative journey with your future fans. When you’re ready, you can even add a “pre-order” button to your rough-cut bubbles to start selling your book at all the major online book retailers.
- Track your progress. Watch your manuscript’s word count increase and your story’s plot unfold in Bublish’s eBook Creator. You can also track reader engagement with your rough-cut book bubbles as well as pre-order conversions, if you add those links.
- Build your audience. Bublish helps get eyes on your work and connect the dots for readers, so that they can follow you socially and visit your website, if you have one. You also get a LinkedIn-style Author Profile to help you start building your author brand. Readers are fifteen times more likely to buy a book from an author with a brand they recognize, so start building your brand as soon as possible!
- Enjoy a special congratulatory gift at the end of your free trial. We’re excited to support you during your NaNoWriMo 2015 journey. Don’t hesitate to contact us if you have questions along the way at support@bublish.com. We’re here to help you be successful. Best of luck!
