To draw attention to the remarkable variety of writing Americans engage in and to help make writers from all walks of life aware of their craft, the National Council of Teachers of English established October 20 as the National Day on Writing.
It’s important for everyone to share their knowledge about writing, organize participating groups in our schools and communities, and transform the public’s understanding of writing and the role it plays in society today.
Celebrate with us!
In partnership with the National Coalition Against Censorship and its Student Advocates for Speech program, we are publishing daily #WhyIWrite insights from students across the country.
