Last November a group of team members at Grammarly, the online site dedicated to proofreading, teamed up to write a novel during National Novel Writing Month. Today, they revealed just how many people participated in the process: 496 writers from 54 countries.
In the process, these writers wrote 38,093 words, as well as three pending vignettes to be added to the novel.
The second year running, this year, Grammarly got Scribophile to sponsor a “Name this Novel” contest which included about 250 entries. Scrivener sponsored a cover design contest which is currently going on. Scribophile, Scrivener and Pubslush also sponsored a “My Story” short story contest and the winning vignettes will be added to the final novel in their entirety.
The novel will be published on Amazon this spring and proceeds from sales will benefit Room to Read.
