October is passing so quickly. It’s hard to imagine that right now in the Storyknife cabins are the last of the 2023 writers, working through our first snowfall, watching for moose, marveling at the amazing autumn sunsets.
Meanwhile, our incredible team of adjudicators are carefully attending to the 985 applications Storyknife received for the 2024 season. Each applicant’s hopes honored and acknowledged. Notifications will go out in November for the 2024 residency season.
We are still asking that you include the women writers of Storyknife in your year-end giving. We’re at 60% of our $50,000 challenge grant goal. Thank you so much to the amazing donors who’ve been so generous! Please remember that your support goes directly to fostering the women writers of Storyknife, giving them the time and the space to devote to their writing. This is a revolutionary gift which will lead to more diverse stories in the world.
And speaking of gifts, Tuesday, October 17, at 7pm Alaska Time, you can listen to some of this month’s incredible writers in residence read from their work. Live from Storyknife, an event co-sponsored by 49 Writers, will be available via Zoom on this page. And if you miss it, or want to see any of the previous months’ amazing writers, check out the recorded events here.
Thank you for being part of the Storyknife family legacy.
Sincerely,
Erin Coughlin Hollowell
Executive Director of Storyknife
