Nisma, the Voice for November, is participating in National Novel Writing Month - and she's not the only one!

Inky loves writing, as well as reading. (We haven't the heart to tell him that no-one wants to publish an adventure book where the treasure is an old, smelly bone.) Which is why inside a dog is full of great resources for writers!

There is:

• A new writing forum, to talk about your writery woes.
   
  
• A different writer in Residence each month, sharing their tips and experience.
  Current resident Steven Lochran has written about things like the value of writing fanfiction, and how you can recycle old stories and ideas.
  This year we've also had great posts like...
  Rebecca Lim exploring how to get started as a writer and the different ways you can get published,
  Tom Taylor sharing the secret to writing,
  Honest confessions about what it's really like to be a writer - including the struggle, the rejection, and the humiliation,
  Ideas and inspiration tips from Rebecca Lim, Gabrielle Wang, and Kelly Gardiner,
  A day in the writing life of Isobelle Carmody and Kelly Gardiner,
  And Michelle Cooper's 'How to write A Historical Novel in 7 Easy Steps'.
   
• WordBox - posts where we let you know about competitions and events of interest to teenaged writers.
   

Happy writing!
