Giveaway Details
I’m covering the full registration cost for a few writers who are ready to reconnect with their creativity and confidence.
I’ll personally read each entry and select the writers I believe will benefit most from this experience — those who are ready to explore their ideas and write courageously in a supportive space.
Referral Incentive: If someone you refer is selected, you’ll also receive a free spot in the group! There’s no limit to how many friends you can refer — every person who enters and mentions your name increases your chance to join for free too.
Note: If you’re not selected, you’ll still have the opportunity to register.
Are These Camps Right for You?
Writers Camp is for personal and fiction writers who want to grow their stories, strengthen their writing, and keep moving forward—whether you're just getting started, returning to your writing, or already deep into a larger project.
This camp is right for you if you:
- Want thoughtful, supportive feedback on your writing
- Want to learn from reading and responding to other writers' work
- Could use some accountability and motivation to keep writing
- Feel stuck or unsure about what to write next
- Want to connect with a supportive community of writers
You might be writing a novel, memoir, personal essay, short story, or simply exploring the stories you want to tell. You don't need formal writing experience—just a willingness to write, share, experiment, and support the writers around you.
And if you do have experience? You'll be challenged to experiment, make intentional choices in your writing, and discover new possibilities for your stories.

About Your Coach
I’m Trevor Martens — a writer, professional educator, and the founder of I Help You Write Things.
I’ve worked with hundreds of writers who felt stuck, unsure if they even had a story worth telling. Together, we’ve found ways to quiet the inner critic, build habits that last, and actually finish the work they start.
My approach is simple: I combine mindset, motivation, and craft — without the pressure, without the perfectionism. Because writing should feel like possibility, not punishment.
If you’re ready to finally show up for your writing, I’d love to help you get there!
