POCATELLO — The Marshall Public Library is excited to announce the kickoff of the StoryForge Writing Challenge, a month-long initiative designed to inspire writers of all ages to dive into their creative writing projects. Reminiscent of National Novel Writing Month, the StoryForge Writing Challenge will launch next week and invites participants to commit to writing a total of 30 hours on a single writing project throughout November. The StoryForge Writing Challenge aims to transform writing from a solitary pursuit into a collaborative community experience.

The kickoff event will be Wednesday at 6 p.m. in the MPL Exploration Center and includes a keynote address from acquisitions editor and author Sally O’Keefe, a writing accountability partner mixer and a writing sprint to jump-start the writing challenge. Registration for the kickoff is available at forms.gle/V28u2gTbzUgKWckKA.

Registration for the challenge can be done by visiting forms.gle/HUdeMewNmEHk2KK78.
