Here you will find the established 2025 schedule.
There will be two introductory events, to take place on October 14 and October 15, from 11:30am-1:30pm in the SCC Library. During these events participants will learn about NaNoWriMo and be given the tools and techniques they need to be successful in participating in writing a novel during the month of November.
These supportive events are designed to foster a safe, conducive environment for consistent participation in NaNoWriMo. These will occur on:
Due to the Thanksgiving holiday, there will not be a session on Thursday, 11/27. All of these sessions will take place in the Tutoring Center in Building 16 (next to the SCC Library), from 4pm-7pm. The space will include several guidelines to keep participants focused, and there will be tools and activities to help participants stay focused and inspired.
Anyone at SCC is welcome to organize their own NaNoWriMo meet-ups and writing sessions outside of the formal agenda listed above.
If you need additional support during NaNoWriMo, please reach out to the organizing group listed below.
In celebration of NaNoWriMo, Librarian Greg Bem invited employees from across the college to contribute character guides for various identities, jobs, and other qualities. These writings will be compiled and put into a small DIY publication, known as a zine. As of September, the zine is forthcoming and will be released before November.
The following SCC employees are part of the organizing group for the 2025 NaNoWriMo program. We invite you to email any of the group members if you have questions or feedback.
