Wondering how you can improve your writing? Well, reading, of course! And lucky you, we’ve got the perfect reading challenge for you this month! After Summer Camp, we encourage you to read what your fellow summer campers have written and learn from them.
The reading challenge: summer camp 2022
This August, we challenge you to read 9 articles, give them some feedback, and then write about how they gave you ideas or taught you something new. This is your task:
- Choose 3 prompts. For each chosen prompt, choose 3 entries for a total of 9 entries. You can find entries by going to the Summer Camp page and clicking the “View Entries” button on your chosen prompts. You can also get amazing articles delivered directly to your notifications by following worlds!
- Read the articles you’ve chosen carefully and make sure to leave a comment on each of them (remember to be nice!).
- Create a generic article on your world for the reading challenge. There, list the 9 articles you chose and write a small paragraph for each of them about what you learned and how it inspired you. This is not about giving critique, but about reflecting on your own writing!
- At the end of the article, look to the future! What are your new goals? What will you work on next? Are you going to focus on expanding your Summer Camp entries or will you start writing something new?
- To claim your badge, share your generic article URL in the comments of this blog before the end of August. Make sure the article is public and published!
If you complete the challenge and submit your article before the end of August 2022, you’ll get the Summer Camp 2022 Reading Challenge badge in your World Anvil profile! And, of course, you’ll have a ton of new ideas and inspiration to pull from for your next projects. This badge is very shiny, but the true goal of the challenge is to become a better writer!
Share your #shelfie!
Since we’re all reading this month, why not share a shelfie? No, not a selfie, but a picture of your epic bookshelves!
We’re celebrating the joys of reading by sharing our own bookshelves – whether they’re gaming books, novels, or anything else! To take part, share a picture of your favorite book hoard (you can be in the pic too if you want!) on social media with the #shelfie hashtag. We’ll be re-tweeting and sharing our favorites on our Twitter!
That’s what I call a pretty shelfie! You can include books, games, movies, and anything else in your shelfie!
Well, what are you waiting for? Get reading and share your submissions in the comments! Can’t wait what you all have learned from each other!

I tried to do a balance of worlds I love and worlds I just discovered. Hope you enjoy!

The sun sets on another fun Summer Camp. I’m feeling inspired and ready to take on my plans for the months ahead…

Since I tried to make a comment and leave the link–and it did not work–I thought I’d say “Heya, TJ!!” (waves)…and try to leave it as a reply comment?

Hi Roc,
The reading challenge ended up being rather fun! I decided to choose prompts where I thought I was quite weak (such as writing about vehicles) or didn’t have time to complete. Amazing how much variety the community has towards these prompts! From traditions with ducks, to using a collection of gas planets as a natural wonder, it was very insightful to read through 🙂
P.S the reading badge is adorable, whoever designed it deserves a gold star <3

It was a fun challenge, decided to take a look at some of the templates I had less articles on and see what they could inspire me to add in the future!

It was fun to jump in and see what else people are doing, jumping out of my comfort zone in my own little world building pond and all that. xD

This was a good challenge. Reflective thinking and taking in different sources of inspiration are so important, and yet I rarely find the time to do it. Thanks for the kick in the pants, as always World Anvil is filled with a dragon’s hoard worth of talent.

An excellent idea, I found this quite a rewarding experience. So many good writers out there on World Anvil.

Summer camp was so much fun and a great challenge this year. I was working on an article in the car while my dad was driving. he asked me what are you doing. At the time i was researching boat ratios so i could get my vehicle article researched properly. So i then spent about 2 hours of our car ride explaining what i was doing and why.
The articles i read tonight where amazing. These authors really show passion and love for what they are doing. My method of finding an article to read was based on dice. I rolled a custom dice d31 for the article and a custom dice for total count of articles posted. I didn’t want to be influenced in reading an article of someone i have read before or followed before if fate didn’t make it so.
