Blurb is such a believer in new and emerging writers that all Coffee & Quill Society members who complete the NaNoWriMo challenge will receive one copy of their novel in print and ebook form for free. Blurb is the only platform supporting the challenge that enables writers to upload their manuscript and create an ebook and print book from one file. Once writers have uploaded their book, they can utilize the Blurb Global Retail Network that, through a partnership with Ingram Content Group, will enable them to distribute their work to online retailers and bookstores around the world, helping global sales.

“NaNoWriMo is a great chance for anyone who’s had even the fleeting idea of writing a novel to go all in and finally make their dream into a reality. We want to help them get there and then reward them by getting their novel published as a beautiful print book or ebook,” said Eileen Gittins, founder and CEO, Blurb.

“We’re thrilled to have Blurb as a partner and we think that Blurb’s Coffee & Quill Society will be an excellent resource for all authors looking to take on this year’s NaNoWriMo challenge,” said Grant Faulkner, Executive Director, National Novel Writing Month. “We’re expecting over 400,000 participants, many of whom want to self-publish their novels, so we're happy that Blurb can help those writers continue their creative journey beyond 50,000 words."
