National Novel Writing Month may have ended, but your preparations for next year may be just beginning. Thanks to the warrior librarians at Forsyth County Library in Winston-Salem, NC and their division dedicated specifically to teen readers and writers, I was given an opportunity to share my tips and tricks for “winning” NaNoWriMo in video form. The great part about that? Well, these strategies never go stale. They never spoil. They are tried and true.

That’s why I’ve taken the liberty of putting this series of five videos all in one place, on my YouTube channel where you can find the entire playlist and bookmark it for next year. I hope you or a teen writer you know find them useful and that the tips I’ve shared help someone out there construct the world’s next great story.

Cheers and happy writing!
