November is National Novel Writing Month, a.k.a. NaNoWriMo. If you’ve ever wanted to write anything—nonfiction, poetry, or fiction—join the #NaNoWriMo challenge or use it as motivation! At A Book Apart, we embrace anything that encourages creativity and helps move folks toward their goals. For a little writing support and inspiration, check out You Should Write a Book, The Business of UX Writing, and Writing for Designers.

You Should Write a Book

Adding your voice to the conversation leads to a stronger, more inclusive tech industry.
