Pegasus Books' National Paragraph Writing Month




















To gear up for National Novel Writing Month, founded by Oaklander Chris Baty, we're calling for submissions to our own pre-event celebration- National Paragraph Writing Month.

Do whatever it takes to create one paragraph-skip work, forego showers, unplug the TV-and email it to us. If it's publishable on a rated-PG website, we'll post it and put your name into a hat for one of five $20 gift certificates (with which you might buy No Plot? No Problem! by Chris Baty.)
