The National Day on Writing (October 20), an initiative of the National Council of Teachers of English, is built on the premise that writing is critical to literacy but needs greater attention and celebration.

For ten years, hundreds of thousands of people share their writing and engage in activities around the theme of #WhyIWrite.
