About this camp
Embark on a literary odyssey where the boundaries of reality dissolve, and the art of world-building takes center stage! Whether your narrative unfolds in realms beyond our own or is rooted in the familiar, the key to setting your story apart lies in crafting vibrant worlds, breathing life into three-dimensional characters, and seamlessly blending the rational laws of magic or futuristic technology. Join us for a week of creative writing, where you’ll learn how to world-build like a pro.
Each day of this immersive experience is a tapestry woven with hands-on activities, drawing inspiration from the strategies employed by bestselling authors, engaging in collaborative workshops with fellow writers, delving into the intricacies of building rich and immersive worlds, and, of course, savoring moments dedicated to bringing your visions to life on the page. Through one-on-one and group writing workshops, you’ll learn the art of editing and revising, ensuring that by the end of the week, every participant in the program emerges with a vibrant world pulsating with narrative possibilities. Get ready to build worlds that captivate and stories that endure!
