It’s February at Storyknife and that means snow. Yep, 3 to 5 inches of snow in the forecast today. In fact, we’ve been pretty much snowed in since October 28th when the last bunch of 2021 residents left. It’s almost as if Mother Nature closed the doors and tucked in a fluffy, cold blanket aroundContinue reading “A Valentine’s Day Surprise!”

Keep dreaming…
To attend Storyknife is to leave behind the mundane, the ordinary, and enter a dimension of mind, hand, and heart. This rich opportunity, this residency, allowed my words to track the path of sun and late-night moon, the drift and movement of Cook Inlet currents, and the touch and go of cumulus hiding and revealingContinue reading “Keep dreaming…”
Adjudication results
On Friday, I sent out all of the invitations, waitlist notifications, and rejection letters. It’s a tough day, because even though I’m so excited for the women who get invitations, and even for those who are waitlisted, I know how hard it is to receive a rejection letter. Trust me, I’ve applied to many residenciesContinue reading “Adjudication results”

Making a dream a reality
At first, Storyknife was Dana Stabenow’s dream. Now it is the dream of women writers from all over the United States and the world.

You can help provide this experience for other women writers.Continue reading “Making a dream a reality”
October at Storyknife
Next week marks the end of Storyknife’s first year in full operation. Five months of writers in residence. Five months of late night conversations over chai, long walks together, reading work to each other, gathering around the table to feast on Maura’s incredible dinners. Five months of lovesick moose, sandhill cranes, and a cheeky jay.Continue reading “October at Storyknife”
Autumn at Storyknife and Applications Open
Only one month of residencies remains for the 2021 Storyknife Writers Retreat season. One more month this year for women writers to hunker down in their cabins, watch autumn winds ripple the dry grass in the meadow, and write their hearts out. One more month this year for them to gather in Eva’s House toContinue reading “Autumn at Storyknife and Applications Open”
Opportunity and food for thought
In 2022, Storyknife will have writers in residence from May through October.

All of the details of how to apply and what you’ll need are on Storyknife’sContinue reading “Opportunity and food for thought”
