This is the first summer that the Office of Letters and Light (the NNWM organizers) have actually set up and run the Camp version of NNWM. In fact July was more or less a beta trial and this month the real deal.
The idea behind Camp was to be able to provide the opportunity to participate in NNWM to writers who for one reason or another couldn't do November as well as offer more prolific writers another month to write a second novel while sharing the experience with fellow crazies authors. Of course whether or not they do another Camp next summer depends on whether they can pay the bills as they run all of NNWM from donations (direct and by sales of goodies through their shop).
So if things go well, I hope that there will be another Camp next summer!
