NaNoWriMo Young Writers Program – FAQs

Can homeschoolers participate in NaNoWriMo?

Homeschoolers can absolutely participate in NaNoWriMo. For families with kids 12 and under, parents can sign up themselves and access our teaching resources and young writers forums (including a new forum just for homeschoolers!). Homeschool kids (again, 12 and under) can sign up too and access the forums and other resources, with parental consent. Young novelists ages 13 to 18 who are not participating as part of a class should sign up on the main NaNoWriMo site.

Come on folks, they’ve got a home educators forum! Any volunteers? 😉

Yeah, yeah, I know I’m not in bed yet….

  1. I’m on my way – I think? Maybe Dino is a tad young but his fantasy role play stories are very involved so who knows.

  2. Yeah, but don’t they have to be able to write to do this? You know, like put pen on paper… imagine the blood we’d sweat doing it with Myf!

  3. My child is a dictator. Hmm.

  4. Aren’t all small people dictators?
    oh bugger – just put my elbow in a blob of chocolate. Most irritated by the fact that you can’t actually lick your elbow. 🙁

How I Can Help

After 20+ years of home educating my four children (two now adults), I’ve gathered a wealth of experience that I’m passionate about sharing. Beyond blogging and guest writing, I offer several services designed to support families on their home education journey.

Resources to Support Your Home Ed Journey

I’ve put together a collection of resources that I’ve genuinely found useful over the years—things that have actually made a difference in our home education. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to freshen things up, there’s something here to help. These are the tools, guides, and materials I’d recommend to a friend, because they work.
