NaNoWriMo helps writers track progress, set milestones, connect with other writers, and participate in events designed to make sure they finish their novels. The NaNoWriMo community is a great place to encourage students and educators to set and accomplish goals throughout the entire year.

Does your institution offer course reserves? Remind students that they may have access to free course materials online by advertising how and where to find them!
