Caravan Craft Campfires
Campfires are our answer to the hoity-toity literary salon. They're low-stress, high-impact virtual gatherings for all who want to learn more about writing, publishing, and literary craft—and get their hands dirty in the process. Listen to a short presentation. Get in on the Q & A. Then experiment and explore (with guided prompts). Not a workshop, a campfire\ is a chance to gather with other writers in a no-pressure zone, hone our chops, exercise our skills, and tap into collective creative energy.

Stay tuned for our winter/spring lineup of campfires (January, February, March, and April) to be announced soon!
Setting
Much as we enjoy a spot of drifty, spacey, cerebral writing now and then, here’s the truth: mostly we don’t, and neither does anybody else. This campfire - which will give us a chance to use some of the craft tools we’ve discussed in the previous two - will also explore aspects of setting that are often overlooked. Setting isn’t just a place - it’s also an era, a time, a feel; it’s the people who were or are there, how they interact, move, speak; and sure, it’s place. This campfire is designed to sharpen our skills as observers and put that keen-eyed observation to use in our work.
