Sara Terpak Launches Blog Series on Writing Challenges & Events

September 28, 2026 /PRSearchEngine/ – Freelance writer and digital content expert Sara Terpak has launched a new blog series exploring writing challenges, literary conferences, and events for writers at every stage of their craft. The series kicks off with a look at National Novel Writing Month, examining how the community-driven writing challenge has evolved since the nonprofit organization behind it closed its doors.

In the series’ first post, “What Is NaNoWriMo Now? A Writer’s Guide Post-Shutdown,” Terpak breaks down what changed when the nonprofit ceased operations, what writers can expect from the November challenge going forward, and practical tips for participating without an official organization running the show.

Terpak’s upcoming posts in the series will continue to explore writing challenges alongside guidance on navigating writers’ conferences, workshops, and literary events — resources she considers essential for building both craft and community. A former HerCampus contributor at Sacred Heart University, Terpak has long centered her own writing around finding structure and comfort within creative pursuits, an approach she carries into this new series.

Readers interested in following the series, along with Terpak’s broader body of work spanning lifestyle, entertainment, and mindfulness-focused storytelling, can find more on her website.
