Celebrate Nonfiction With NF FEST

By Pat Miller


Are you a fiction writer who is curious about writing nonfiction? Do you already write children’s true books but want to improve your craft?

Either way, you will want to sign up for the Nonfiction Chicks’ second annual NF Fest 2021 Challenge in February.

Every day in February, a NF author or illustrator will inspire and instruct you in a facet of writing true. Candace Fleming, Melissa Stewart, Kathleen Krull, Carole Boston Weatherford, and Kate Messner are just five of the guests who will visit your writing space via their NF Fest post.

But reading isn’t writing, so you will also be expected to participate. Each faculty member will end their post with a related activity you can choose to do. Or you can choose one from a list of 30 other activities that will grow your NF skills.

If you:

1. Register between Jan 15-31 at www.NFFest.com,
2. Read each post,
3. Complete 20 activities or more,
4. And sign a month’s end pledge of completion,

then you will also be eligible for a bunch of prizes. And it is ALL free!

Join the NF Fest Facebook page now, (NFFest) to meet up with more than 1400 international “Festives” who are waiting for registration to open. Meanwhile, it is a great home for your interest and questions about writing true books for kids and young adults.

All posts from NF Fest 2020 are archived here to help while you wait. During registration, we will post daily a pair of upcoming faculty members and their topics. It’s going to be an exciting preview of NF Fest 2020. See you in February!
