Questions? Answers.

Is Write Fest free?
Yes. Write Fest is free to join, and so is 4thewords. No card needed.
Can I join late?
Yes. Write Fest runs until Dec 8, and you can start any day.
Do I have to write a novel?
No. Any writing counts: a novel, short stories, fan fiction, a blog or a journal. Pick a goal that fits your month.
I'm not a gamer.
You don't have to be. If you can type, you can play. The game is just a reason to show up.
Do you read what I write?
No. We count words. We never read your text, and we never train AI on it. Your writing is yours, always. Privacy policy
