What Our Community is Saying
Campfire has made my writing process so much easier! I have been building a huge world for about 15 years now, but I was always getting lost in it. Organising characters [and] locations and finding them [tagged] in my [manuscript] has changed everything for the better.
Infinitely customizable software with a dev team that is responsive to writers' whims and dreams and one of the kindest writing communities on the net, Campfire is like that wonderful summer camp night spent telling fantastic stories with friends.
Campfire has allowed me to take my many, many story ideas and put them down in an organized, readable form... Without it, I would have hundreds of individual documents with no organization. Campfire has helped me write more in a shorter amount of time than I have ever have before [and] I couldn’t be happier.
