Welcome to the new website!

Hello to all of our Bookcamp alums and to first-time Bookcampers, and welcome to our brand new
website! The organization has grown in so many meaningful ways, and the board decided Bookcamp needed a website that reflected that growth. You’ll see that it has the same spirit as our previous site but offers more opportunities to connect with Bookcamp as well as ways to make signing up for this dynamic week that much easier.

Two of the biggest changes we’re offering are the ability to pay for Bookcamp right here on the site, if that’s the most convenient option for you. We’re also giving you the chance to upload your application materials here as well, and bonus: You can start your application, save it, and then come back and finish when you’re ready to submit.

This is just one of the ways we want to emphasize Bookcamp’s mission to support writers in ways that you can see on the ground level right away. Our commitment to small groups for each track of Bookcamp week underscores the importance of connection that you get through conversations and the camaraderie you build with other writers and writing experts. By making it easier for you to apply and pay for camp, we want you to know we’re thinking about the entire experience start to finish. In the end, we want you to succeed in your writing journey and accomplish all of your goals. Giving you the ability to set up your application on your time and terms and to pay electronically allows us to be a small part of that journey!

Your questions, comments, and feedback are always welcome, so reach out if you have anything you’d like to say! We’re excited to see you at Bookcamp this year at our camp home, the Siena Retreat Center, on the stunning shores of Lake Michigan. Let’s make this the best year yet!
