I am a writer. I live in Trinidad in the west Indies. There are no writing camps on my island. I have had some success with a play I wrote a few years aback, but find it difficult to really settle down to my book in progress. The computer is constantly contracting viruses (although we have anti-virus in place), and I have lost more manuscripts than I care to remember - despite backkups and hard copies, Added to which I do not get much time on the computer, because I reside with my family who has priority, since they built it, upgrade and maintain it. The downside of that being everytime my whizz computer sons do something, or add something new, I'm lost for awhile. It is a real putter-offer. I go to our Public Library when I reall y need to get something done urgently, but one is only allowed an hour, and I am a two finger typist (but a fast two finger typist once I have been on the computer for a very long period of time. How do I get into a writing camp?

Most US "camps" or writing programs and workshops are run by universities and colleges which charge a tuition. Getting in to most of them is easy if you can pay. I would check the web and see what's offered, and whether or not scholarships are offered. Some do, and since you have had some exposure with your play, you may be able to get some help, if you need it.

just look in the news papers, check the web for other writers and ask them, good luck...
