At the closing session of the writing camp, members raised many concerns and frankly gave their opinions so that the next writing camps would be of better quality. Poet Thach Quy said that going to a writing camp does not mean writing about the locality where the camp was held, but must be about ideas and materials that were collected before. The work created must be the writer's concerns and thoughts, only when coming to the writing camp will it flow out, so that the work will have quality. Because in such a short time, camp participants cannot both go on field trips and write, which means that camp participants are making things difficult for themselves.
In her general assessment of the activities of the members attending this year’s writing camp, writer Nguyen Thi Phuoc - President of the Nghe An Literature and Arts Association acknowledged the members’ spirit of discipline and responsibility. All accepted works were completed well and qualified for publication.
