Authors, thank you so much for considering to join us for our Bookish Camp in September 2026. It is truly the most magical experience filled with s'mores, book chats, reading, and fun activities.
Event Dates: September 17–20, 2026
Location: Camp Ho Mita Koda in Newbury, Ohio
What to Expect:
Lodging You’ll be staying in a shared cabin with other attendees and authors. Each person will have their own twin-size bed. Please note: you’ll need to bring your own bedding. I can help with accommodations for this if you need. A central bathhouse is located near all cabins.
Meals + Activities: All meals and scheduled camp activities are included with your stay. An interest form will be sent out closer to camp to help you choose which activities you'd like to join.
Communication: We’ll have a private Facebook group and optional group chat available for attendees. You’ll receive an invite once those go live. We also will have a private event app where you can pick your agenda and find more important camp information.
For Authors:
-We kindly ask each author to donate 25 books for our Mini Book Fair at camp. This will be free for all of our attendees to snag some goodies.
-Authors are welcome to offer a preorder form for any titles not contributed to the book fair.
-We ask that authors participate in our Mini Book Clubs at camp, giving readers a chance to ask you questions and connect directly with you.
-While not required, we deeply appreciate authors who share about Bookish Camp with their readers and followers! You can find event details on our Instagram pages: @bookish_camp and @bookish_retreats.
A Few Final Notes:
Filling out this form does not guarantee your author spot at book camp. Selected authors will be notified by October 1, 2025, at the latest.
