MLs are charged with setting up local events in their region including write-ins, a Kickoff Party, and a Thank Goodness It’s Over Party. We also send out weekly pep talk emails to the region and moderate the region’s forums on the NaNoWriMo website. Both Jordan and Travis have been MLs in Boston since 2006.
