Come Write In!
Come Write In! is an Office of Letters and Light program launched in 2009 encouraging the partnership of Wrimos with libraries and independent bookstores. Wrimos all over the world had been hosting write-ins in these places for years, so a partnership with these writer-friendly venues seemed natural, Come Write In! was announced in August 2009 with an announcement on the NaNoWriMo blog, complete with a Come Write In! sticker next to a Chik-Fil-A sticker [1].
Participating libraries and bookstores receive free window clings to alert writers of their participation and free Come Write In! kits through a secret link in the OLL store, among other things. Libraries worldwide have participated in the program. Come Write In! Independent Bookstores was tested in the Bay Area in 2009 and expanded throughout the world during the 2010 and 2011 NaNo seasons. The library outreach program continued into Script Frenzy 2010.
While Come Write In programs are separate from a Municipal Liaison's regional plans for NaNo, MLs can and sometimes do work with libraries and bookstores to build relationships between the two sets of programs.
Sarah Mackey joined the OLL staff in 2009 to coordinate the library outreach program. As a library staff member and longtime Municipal Liaison, she was experienced in the partnership between libraries and Wrimos. She continues to work on Come Write In as the community liaison.
