Attendees must email janiepbess@yahoo.com to set up a one-on-one or group meeting.

"I'm happy to be providing this service for local writers who really want to attempt to write a novel in 30 days," says Bess who is working on her second book. "I'm looking forward to lively, exciting discussions."

Anyone interested in participating in National Novel Writing Month must first sign up on the event's website at www.nanowrimo.org for rules and other information. Those who submit a 50,000-word work of fiction by the November 30 deadline will automatically be eligible for numerous free and discounted prizes, including writing, editing and publishing software donated by various national sponsors.
