The Bookcamp is open to WWA Members and nonmembers, but lodging accommodations are limited. Single rooms can only be guaranteed for the first 13 registrants. Double rooms also available.

- The first two chapters or up to 25 pages of your manuscript (please send full chapters only).
- A cover letter with this information:
- Your full name, contact info (address and phone number), a brief bio paragraph centered on your writing background;
- The title and genre of your book, word length (actual or projected), the status of your book (outline only, mid-first draft, in final edit phase, etc.);
- Optional, mention any specific area of your book you want assistance on (such as improving plot, adding subplots, adding depth to characters, etc.). This will help us tailor the Bookcamp to better serve your needs.
- A one- or two-page synopsis of your book. Include plot summary with ending.
Upon reception of your application, we will notify you within five working days if your application is accepted. At that time we will ask for a $100 deposit to secure your place in the Bookcamp. At a later date we will contact you to arrange final payment for the rest of the registration fee.
