Fifteen Words or Less

NaNoWriMo is National Novel Writing Month. It started back in 1999 with a few people challenging each other to write a novel in a month, and has grown into a huge, international site with hundreds of thousands of people, who will be writing novels in November.

With that many people, there are bound to be some aspiring fantasy novelists out there. There’s an entire forum dedicated to the genre, and in that forum is a thread titled “Your Novel in 15 words or less.” We felt it would be nice to highlight some of the ones we would be interested in reading!
