    This is an ambitious offering by the WWA, which we are sure will be a great resource for any writer working on a book-length project, regardless of the genre.

    We have a great instructional staff who not only know their stuff but are eager to share their knowledge with the new friends they will make at the Bookcamp.

    For information on applying to the 2013 Bookcamp, contact me directly at [email protected].

    And thank you, Nathan, for helping to spread the word.
