From the Nashua Public Library Calendar:

“November is National Novel Writing Month, a fun,
seat-of-your-pants approach to writing. Participants begin writing on Nov. 1
with the aim of completing a 50,000-word novel by Nov. 30.

Four NaNoWriMo veterans, all members of Broad Universe, a group that celebrates female sci-fi, fantasy, and horror authors, help you make the most of the challenge—and tell you what to do when you finish.”

This is the first year for this con, but they’ve got some really good guests including authors Jackie Gamber, Catherynne M. Valente, Jennifer Pellan, Christopher Golden, Rick Hautala, and Jonathan Maberry and artist Ogmios.

I’m available for interviews, signings, readings, panel discussions, and podcasts. I can speak on the writing life, tech tools for writers, vampires, and the supernatural. Interested? Contact her at morven@morvenwestfield.com.
