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

Rating: 5 stars  

The Office of Letters and Light runs writing competition that are about more than just the words you can put on a page. True, 50,000+ in a month can seem like a daunting task for many, especially those who are studying, working, raising a family or tackling all the other things which life can throw at you, but the beauty of NaNoWriMo especially is the support which it gives to writers who otherwise may feel isolated and not develop as much as they could in a community.
This year I joined a group of around thirty other writers to attend meetings in Manchester which helped me grow as a writer and meet others from different walks of life attempting the same task but with a different spin on it. When we achieved, we achieved together and I made friends that are more supportive of my career asperations than some people I've known for years. The Office of Letters and Light brings people together. FACT.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

The novel I produced as a result of the competition and the friendships I made from the meetings organised by the group.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

not be able to make it better.

Role:  Volunteer & Took part in writing competitions and formed a writers group for the younger section of the age group.
