Write Doe Bay: Unlock Your Story

Doe Bay Resort on Orcas Island is known for its rustic charm, world-class farm-to-table café and its annual music festival, Doe Bay Fest. For the past three years, something else has grown on the resort’s pristine 38-acres: an extraordinary artist/writing workshop. Participating artists range from the broadly published writer finishing a novel to someone looking to bring daily writing and creativity to their days. With an average of 17 states and Canada represented, connections in Write span far and wide.

This Fall, Write brings together a musician, a memoir and fiction writer, an incredible artist and author; a musician and songwriter; a memoir, fiction and essayist; a writer, editor and adventurer.

Nikki McClure is an award winning Olympia based New York Times Best-Selling writer/illustrator of seven children’s books and papercut artist. Seattle-based Kris Orlowski is a widely regarded musician and songwriter. Award-winning LA-based writer Jenny Feldon is the author of the memoir Karma Gone Bad (Sourcebooks) and a widely published essayist. Jonathan Zwickel is the senior editor at Seattle City Arts Magazine, contributor to Spin, MSN Music and the author of “Beastie Boys: A Musical Biography. He recently completed a summit of Mt Rainier to raise over $40,000 for Fred Hutch Cancer Research.

This is the seventh Write Workshop and it will take place October 8-11 at Doe Bay Resort on Orcas Island, WA. Tickets are very limited. For more information about this workshop, visit http://www.writedoebay.com.
