The World’s First 48-Hour Virtual Writing Festival
Join the WriteNow community for a free writing celebration packed with workshops, games, sprints, panels, and community-powered creativity.
For three days straight, writers come together to learn, create, connect, and take on our boldest challenge yet: setting a new community word-count record. Let’s celebrate our 2024 journey and launch into the stories we’ll build next.
Friday, December 26 - Sunday, December 28
Our Mission
This is an end-of-year event where writers of all styles and levels gather to celebrate creativity, community, and craft through interactive activities, hands-on workshops, collaborative challenges, and energizing experiences that deepen connection and spark new ideas.
This isn’t a conference. It isn’t speakers repeating things you’ve heard a hundred times. This is a celebration of our writing journey throughout 2024: the wins, the setbacks, the discoveries, and the growth. It honors where we stand today as writers and embraces the skillsets we continue to build.
Most of all, it’s a celebration of what becomes possible when we choose to Write Now!

I've always loved writing and wrote my first novel at fourteen. Recently, I delved back in as a form of personal therapy. Before I knew it, I had a published trilogy and just kept going. I've never been happier.
