"We believe that everyone has a story to tell, and you learn how to write a novel by sitting down and writing it," said Executive NaNoWriMo Director Grant Faulkner. "The same do-it-yourself attitude is at the heart of indie book publishing, which is why we're happy that BookBaby is providing resources for NaNo authors to take that next big step: publishing and finding an audience of readers."

According to Faulkner, NaNoWriMo is for anyone who has ever thought fleetingly about writing a novel. NaNoWriMo challenges participants to write 50,000 words of a new novel between November 1 and 30, and over 340,000 writers took up the challenge in 2012.
