Just for those of you who might be wondering what the point of doing this month long writing event because you somehow think that it can’t possibly result in a published book, you are wrong! Just to give you a little boost of encouragement here is a list I came across, of at least 10 books that were written or at least started during NaNoWriMo that have been published. Some of these books have even made it to the New York Time’s Best Seller’s list. There are many more out there and perhaps I’ll do another list in the middle of the month but this is just to give you a little incentive. Now go write something because your book could be next on this list!
1) Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen
2) The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern
3) The Forest of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan
4) Don’t Let Me Go by J.H. Trimble
5) Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell
6) Persistence of Memory by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes
7) Take the Reins by Jessica Burkhart
