For more than 30 years, Hedgebrook has served the mission to nurture women writers, building an alumnae community that has grown to more than 2,600 people. Each year it is still a wonderfully exciting thing for us to launch another cohort of women into our core Writers in Residence program, giving them a chance to enjoy the Hedgebrook retreat experience in depth. The women who are joining us on for fully-funded residencies this year have proven themselves in so many ways – with dedication to their craft, confidence in their unique stories, and the personal courage to put themselves on the line.Īll of these women have demonstrated a commitment to truth in their writing, and a compassionate awareness of our connected world – a world in which each woman's story reflects and contributes to all the others. We’re so excited to have shared the Hedgebrook ethos with them in person, and to boost them on their way to meeting you through their published works. As one of our funders said recently, “You may not have heard of these writers when they first come to Hedgebrook – just wait a couple of years.”
