Summer Camp at the Barn: A Week of Creative Mentorship 2019
July 7 - 12, 2019
Overview
Keynotes, workshops and a creative mentor to provide one-on-one support.
We envision summer camp a bit differently than just s’mores by the campfire and hiking in the woods (although those adventures are always on our schedule, too). To us, summer camp is a time to find the kind of encouragement for your writing that only a generous mentor can provide. Our camp offers someone to guide you through the long process of publication and a place to work one-to-one with a published author on fine-tuning your words and mastering your pitches in a relaxed and supportive atmosphere.
