The 2008 Muskoka Novel Marathon has now come and gone. Thanks to Susan Lowe (Event Planner Extraordinaire) and all those involved in making the yearly event an incredible success!
Sponsorship funds raised by participating writers for the Muskoka Literacy Council: $4,370.00 and counting. Final tally to be announced when all sponsorship forms have been handed in and counted.
Number of writers who participated in the 2008 event: 26
Number of pages written during the 3 day novel writing marathon: In excess of 1,000…but final total is not yet it.
Food consumed and coffee pots drained: Far too difficult to count!
Marathon Wrap Party: To be announced. Hint: See you in September!
2009 Muskoka Novel Marathon: July 10-13, 2009. Huntsville, Ontario. (There’s a countdown ticker in the right column…click it for an exact countdown to the next marathon.)

I’m interested in participating in the Muskoka Novel Marathon this year…would a memoir be an acceptable topic?

Hi there,
There is no limit to the genre/topic you can cover for the marathon. If it is a memoir you want to write…that would work. But the only categories for the contest are YOUNG ADULT, ADULT NOVEL and CHILDRENS. I can ask the organizer about memoir and see if it can be considered in the adult category. I will get back to you. Thanks.
