Established in 2009 by the National Council of Teachers of English, the National Day
on Writing celebrates composition in all forms – from stories, poems, and letters
to text messages, videos, and audio recordings – and demonstrates how writing is a
vital part of our everyday lives. Thousands of writers from across the country recognize
the National Day on Writing with local events, including write-ins, talks by local
authors, and poetry slam celebrations.
