Oh, this might not happen for me because I'll be traveling most of that time, but I'll look forward to your emails. Fingers crossed I can carve out some time for writing. By the way, I just purchased The Oyster Wars. I don't know why it took me so long to realize what your book was about. I used to live in the San Francisco Bay area and have friends that still live in Lagunitas. I left SF in 1990 but heard about the controversy through my friends. That estuary is a magical place!
Looking forward to this. I have a WIP but need a kick in the pants to keep generating new material instead of editing and tweaking stuff that's already "in the can." Thanks for arranging this Summer.
Writing-newbie here. Can I just clarify ( though maybe I should wait to see what others produce) The Five Things essay format…. does one choose a topic e.g ‘Hedgehogs’ or ‘A day at the races’ etc and apply the Five Things to that topic or is it five different topics?
Essay camp last year felt so essential toe returning to writing practice. This year, it is coming again just when I need it. I am so looking forward to May!
I am so much looking forward to Essay Camp, again!!! Getting my pens and journal at the ready! I even started reading the fine-wine writers ahead of time to begin priming my creative pump. I confess I've never read Annie Dillard before, which seems like a cardinal sin for a writer. Now I'm reading "Teaching a Stone to Talk," and blown away by her mastery of language. Great stuff. That was one of the revelations I got from your first essay camp, how reading works like Dillard's can be a key in honing our own creative process and craft.

Thank you, Summer. It comes in the perfect moment for me.

Yes can’t wait!! I joined last year three months after having a baby and it was such a nice outlet.
This is wonderful thank you!!!
