The Writer-in-Residence Program is Hedgebrook’s core program, supporting free-to-writers residencies.
Hedgebrook's retreat for women writers is on Whidbey Island, about thirty-five miles northwest of Seattle. Situated on 48-acres of forest and meadow facing Puget Sound, with a view of Mount Rainier, the retreat hosts women writers from all over the world for residencies of two or four weeks, at no cost to the writer.
Selected residents are housed in six handcrafted cottages, where they spend their days in solitude – writing, reading, taking walks in the woods on the property or on nearby Double Bluff beach. In the evenings, they gather in the gathering space to share a home-cooked gourmet meal, their work, their process and their stories.
