October 28, 2014
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Blurb, the indie book and magazine publishing platform, today announced its partnership with National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo), a nonprofit that helps inspire anyone with a story to tell to write a full novel every year during the month of November. Blurb has established the Blurb Coffee & Quill Society in support of NaNoWriMo and its participants throughout this month-long creative writing challenge.
“We’re expecting over 400,000 participants, many of whom want to self-publish their novels, so we're happy that Blurb can help those writers continue their creative journey beyond 50,000 words.”
Blurb’s Coffee & Quill Society will be there for writers every step of the way, leading up to, through, and beyond their 30-day novel-writing journey – from the raw idea and first words to the ultimate goal of publishing their own 50,000-word novel. Throughout the challenge, Blurb will supply writers with tips via webinar and email on planning their novel, meeting their daily goals, along with specially pre-designed downloadable novel layouts and professionally designed cover templates. Following the challenge, these layouts and templates can be used with Blurb BookWright™, Blurb’s free downloadable book
