Come workshop a story you’ve already written! Campers can submit a 2-to-5 thousand words short story, novel excerpt (must be the beginning), series of poems, or flash fiction to be critiqued by two professional authors. In addition to a personal workshop with one of the instructors, you’ll learn firsthand how experienced authors collect feedback and use it in meaningful ways to transform their stories. By the end of the week, you’ll have a workshopped piece revised and polished for our class anthology.

After graduating college with a BFA in English: Creative Writing, an MAT in English: Secondary Education, and an E.d.S in School Library Media, Kaitlin went on to write the bestselling Daughters of Zeus series.
