According to the Office of Letters and Light, which is the non-profit that sponors the month-long event, over 90 manuscripts from past years have been published. Those works include Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen, The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern and Cinder by Marissa Meyer.
Experienced and brand new writers are welcome to join, whether or not publishing the product is a goal for the participant.
