Want to finish a book this year?

OCRW’s Book In a Year (BIAY) challenge is designed to help writers stay focused, accountable, and moving forward.

Choose a manuscript of 20,000+ words that you’re drafting or revising, and commit to completing it during the challenge period.

It doesn’t need to be edited or publication-ready. A finished first draft is enough.

Novella, novel, or passion project—it all counts.
