Bookdun is a community of creative writers who want to write a novel and actually finish it. The core of our community is the 6-month writing challenge, where we don't just talk about writing: we do it. THE MAIN PILLARS OF BOOKDUN ➤ The Challenge. At the start of January and July, we challenge ourselves to write a novel in six months. For some, that means finishing a first draft. For others, it means getting a novel out to beta readers, or even published. Whether you want to write one novel or many, the 6-month challenge is here to push you toward your goals. Challenge participants are divided into teams, and earn team points by writing and participating in weekly events. ➤ Community. We're a friendly and respectful bunch, dedicated to helping each other along our individual writing journeys. Whether you're a long time writer with numerous published novels, or you just opened your first blank document, we're here to help. Join us for craft chats, encouragement, celebrations, and everything in between. ➤ Events & Activities. We like our events, and offer monthly, weekly, and daily activities. From the 6-month challenge, to weekly bingo boards, book clubs, craft chats, goal setting, daily discussion questions and active sprint channels, we have something for everyone. Twice a year, we also host a server-wide critique event to assist members in setting up smaller, private critique and beta groups. SOUND LIKE A FIT? You can join anytime! The challenge is entirely optional, and can be entered at any time, too. You don't need to participate in every round, and the vast majority of server activities are open to non-challenge participants as well. If you need a little extra push, or just want a community that takes writing seriously, come write books with us!
