ABOUT HEDGEBROOK
OUR MISSION
Hedgebrook
invests in women who write by providing them with space and time to
create significant work, in solitude and community, and by developing
an international network to connect writers and audiences.
THE RETREAT
Hedgebrook is on Whidbey Island,
about thirty-five miles northwest of Seattle. Situated on 48-acres of
forest and meadow facing Puget Sound, the retreat hosts women writers
from all over the world for residencies of two weeks to two months, at
no cost to the writer. Residents are housed in six handcrafted
cottages, where they spend their days in solitude – writing, reading,
taking walks in the woods on the property, on nearby Double Bluff beach
or trails around the island. In the evenings, they gather in the
farmhouse kitchen to share a home-cooked gourmet meal, their work,
their process and their stories. The women who come to Hedgebrook are
writing in all genres, and are of all ages, ethnicities, backgrounds
and levels of writing experience.http://www.hedgebrook.org/
