Writers BarCamp

[Booklover]

We are organizing a Writers BarCamp. Since the audience is only about
30% tech savvy, I am looking for any suggestions or tips. We are
launching a regular vanilla website this weekend, and already have the
Facebook, Upcoming, Twitter, and Wiki pages up.

Any suggestions are very helpful. This is our first BarCamp to
organize.

Thanks,

Renee Giroux

Hi Renee,

You're not the first, as it turns out. A long time ago, there was an event called Virginia Woolf Camp.

You might get in touch with participants:

Hmm, the site is down right now, but we had one in Milwaukee recently:

(I missed it, as I was at DrupalCamp, but I'll contact the organizer.)

Wow, Chris, that is an ambitious camp! I am not that brave, ours is
more of a mini camp I guess, since it is only one day. Looks awesome,
though!

I should of mentioned, this camp is in Central Texas.

Thanks Pete!

Boone emailed me! I am looking forward to talking with him. That is
the first camp I have seen that looks exactly like what we are trying
to do. The site is up today, so I am going to browse that, too. I hope
to get some dos and don'ts for the camp from him. Wonder if he thought
he had lost his mind, when he decided to take his un-conference on?
Maybe that is par for the course of un0con planning?

Our site is up now, but still having content, and functionality added,
but please, feel free to critique! http://writersbarcamp.org

Thanks,
Renee

Renee,

Who, what, when, where and why?

Well, Lori, sorry to say Last Sat Oct 24th in Downtown Bryan Tx. The
good news is my publisher friend Rita Mills is interested in
organizing one in Houston in Jan, if you are near there at all.

I don't know of one at this time, but I am sure if anyone would know,
it would be Boone. If you decide to organize one there, I think I know
a few people who might be interested in helping.

Have any suggestions on organization. Would I get writers to appear, etc?  I have a virtual book club on facebook, but I just started it and it is Lori's Book Club. Any ideas are welcome!

Where is this going to be?
If you're in Austin, you might want to take a look at http://texascoworking.com as a possible venue.
We'll be having quite a few SXSW events there.
