Hedgebrook remains deeply committed to amplifying women-identified voices and the work of our alumnae. AMPLIFY Book Club accomplishes both. This is such a great way to show up and support them and have a great time doing it. On December 14th alumnae Janine Kovac and Naomi Williams will discuss Janine's book (just released yesterday!), THE NUTCRACKER CHRONICLES: A FAIRYTALE MEMOIR. You will receive weekly emails to keep pace, engage, and there may even be some writing prompts! Plus, we are offering a couple of discounts: ??$20 for alumnae (DM for the discount code) ??$50 Bring a Buddy rate - just select this option when registering and get a $20 discount when you sign up yourself and a friend.

关于我们
Mission: Hedgebrook supports visionary women writers whose stories and ideas shape our culture now and for generations to come. Founded in 1988, Hedgebrook hosts a global community of writers, close to 1600 in 28 years, at our Whidbey Island retreat. Our programs empower women writers through exceptional workshops and connect their work with thousands of book-lovers and audiences each year through readings, screenings, events, salons, publications and festivals. For more information about Hedgebrook's programs and upcoming events, check out www.hedgebrook.org. Hedgebrook is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. RESIDENCIES THE ALCHEMY OF TIME & SPACE, SOLITUDE & COMMUNITY Located on beautiful Whidbey Island near Seattle, Hedgebrook offers one of the few residency programs in the world exclusively dedicated to supporting the creative process of women writers, and bringing their work to the world through innovative public programs. The gift of time and space in solitude cannot be overestimated. It is essential to a writer’s process and difficult to carve out in daily life. Having her own cottage, with meals provided, enables a writer to give full focus to her work and go deeper into her writing process. Hedgebrook was founded on Virginia Woolf’s belief that giving a writer a room of her own is the greatest vote of confidence in her voice. What we’ve discovered in the ensuing decades is the power of community: bringing women together is equally important in nurturing and informing their voices, and emboldening them to speak. At the end of a day of writing, all six residents come down to the farmhouse kitchen and share a meal, their stories, histories, breakthroughs and roadblocks. They give advice and feedback, and challenge each other to take risks. A community forms around the kitchen table, bonds deepen through conversation, and writers leave knowing they are part of the larger Hedgebrook community in the world.

Hedgebrook began supporting women playwrights over 20 years ago when only 13% or less of all produced plays were written by women. Since then that number has doubled. Our historic playwrights festival has been instrumental and we look forward to prioritizing the necessary voices of women and delighting in the work of our alumnae once again. Join us for our 2024 Playwrights Showcase as we get an intimate look into the playwriting process with craft conversations, table readings, and a discussion about the future of theater in our changing world. There are two opportunities to attend or join us for both: DECEMBER 8TH AT WHIDBEY ISLAND CENTER FOR THE ARTS: https://lnkd.in/epqWpeXC DECEMBER 9TH AT SEATTLE REPERTORY THEATER: https://lnkd.in/erVxJ7Ym
