Testimonials

"Overall, I thought it was extremely well organized and much more professional than I expected."

-- Randi

"Greg's session on genre was really about writing strong ideas and characters. If that's what genre writing is then that's what I want to do."

-- Linda B.

"I'm just filled with gratitude about Write Camp. People could come and go and take in as much as they could absorb. We had a chance to offer our skills, and connect with other writers. The location was perfect. I take my hat off to the organizers and hope to support as much as I can in the years to come."

-- Barbara C.
