You can watch the full NaNoWriMo Pitchapalooza 2021 below.[themify_hr color="light-gray" width="5" ]We're turning it up to 11! Eleven years. Thats how long The Book Doctors and Nano Nation have been slinging words and making beautiful music (and books) together. Writers from around the globe delivered yet another batch of pulse-pounding pitches for NaNoWriMo Pitchapalooza 2021!

As ever, we were gobsmacked by the undeniable awesomeness of the writing that poured forth from Wrimos: Love among the Wichita Whippets, Tehrans tetherball king coming of age, an ancient syndicate of mercenaries, a moon-cursed mnage, a manga mix-up, and a death-date predictor. Of course weve come to expect this level of excellence.
