Novel-In-Progress Bookcamp & Writing Retreat | West Bend, WI
I invite you to join us at the 13th annual Novel Bookcamp, an in-person writing workshop, held June 21-27 at the Siena Retreat Center in southeast Wisconsin, USA, with easy access from Milwaukee and Chicago. We offer three small-group writing programs: the Bookcamp Workshop, the Writing Retreat, or the Book Coach. And each is split into two tracks: All-Genre for realistic genres, and Speculative Fiction for writers of Science Fiction, Fantasy, Horror, and related genres.
Our 2026 staff is outstanding, featuring award-winning novelists SJ Rozan (Detective Mysteries). Cynthia Palayo (Horror), Robb Grindstaff (Contemporary Drama), with literary agents, Kelly Van Sant, Cathie Hedrick-Armstrong, Miriam Cortinovis, and development editors Nicole Whisler and Suzy Vadori, as well as many more.
Take a look at our website for more information, www.novelbookcamp.org. Or contact me directly at [email protected].
An information-packed schedule on craft and publishing at a tranquil location on the shore of Lake Michigan. Registration is open and filling fast.
Good writing to you, and see you in June!
