This week, the sandhill cranes have been making their test flights over Storyknife. First, we hear them far in the distance and then great squadrons mass over the water and fly toward the south. Any day now, we’ll see them leave for the winter and an important threshold for the autumn will be crossed.
In the Storyknife calendar, we are relishing our time with September’s writers and looking forward to October’s group, the last of the year. At the same time, adjudication for 2025 residencies is in full swing with many teams of former Storyknife writers in residence reading the outstanding work that has been submitted.
It’s hard to believe that we are heading toward the end of our fourth full year in operation. Four years is long enough to put together Storyknife’s first annual report! We’re excited to share the 2023 Storyknife Annual Report with you. You can download the pdf document by clicking here. We hope that you’ll enjoy this more in-depth look into Storyknife.
Don’t miss this month’s Live from Storyknife on Thursday, September 19 at 6pm Alaska Time. Just click this link at 6pm for the Zoom event! For those of you who can’t make it, the recording will be linked to the same page within a few days. In fact, you can find all of this year’s recordings at Storyknife’s Vimeo page.
In this time, more than ever, women’s stories are important. You can be part of changing the narrative by supporting the women writers of Storyknife. Please donate to support them. And for those of you who have given this year, or are sustaining members that give a little each month, thank you for sharing the vision that women’s stories will change the world!
Sincerely,
Erin Coughlin Hollowell

I need to change my email address to Tonikayk1@gmail.com. I promise this isn’t a hack, hacking is what caused the change.
