Review for National Novel Writing Month, Berkeley, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

This is a very worthy charity that supports the Arts, specifically Language Arts.

It sponsors the Youth Writers Program that encourages children and teens to write which helps them express themselves, develops self-esteem, teaches goal setting and achieving, and encourages writing and literary endeavors in a time when too many youth are letting their writing and reading skills fall by the wayside.

It also sponsors NaNoWriMo, National Novel Writer's Month which challenges youth and adult writers, published and unpublished to ban together and write a 50,000 word novel in a month. There are goals to reach and encouragement given by fellow writers as well as a staff of dedicated volunteers. The forum used to aid writers is a much needed aid.

Script Frenzy is another of it's programs which is similar to NaNoWriMo, but with the challenge of writing a script.
