This episode is part of the Happy Campers Interview series.

Since April 2020, Nicole Rivera has been hosting an online writing community intensive called the Happy Campers Club. Now Nicole is writing the Stop Writing Alone book about all of her experience with writing community, and wanted to the perspective from the members in the club. This is one interview toward that end.

 

Tammy Breitweiser returns to the Stop Writing Alone podcast to discuss all things writing community — from her own PUSH Groups and courses she leads for writers, to the places and spaces she finds constant inspiration to write.
