Flick Creek Writing Workshops
Each year, I teach two workshops here in the North Cascades, about three hours east of Seattle, at Flick Creek House on Lake Chelan.
Flick Creek House, owned by photographers Mike and Nancy Barnhart, sits three miles downlake from Stehekin right on the water. The only access is via boat or hiking trail. The scenery is stunning, and the silence (well, other than sloshing water and chirping birds) is complete. The setting, as you can imagine, is very conducive to productive writing.
Each workshop features a balance of reading, writing exercises, sharing, and exploring. The cost includes lodging, instruction, and an optional tour of Stehekin. Registration is limited to six participants. If you’d like to check out the travel and logistic details, you can read a sample class letter here:

If you’re ready to sign up, you can download registration information and a form to submit via snail mail or email.
NOTE: In 2010, because of the release of Test Ride on the Sunnyland Bus, and the travel I’ll be doing (keep up with appearances on the EVENTS page), I’ve so far planned only one spring workshop. We’ll schedule a fall workshop if time allows. Please stay tuned!
Advanced Memoir Writers Workshop: The Writer’s Toolbox
June 4-8, 2010 $435
This intensive workshop is designed for writers who have been working in memoir, but want to branch out, to spice up your work with techniques from other writing genres. The workshop sessions will focus on memoir, while the reading and exercise sessions will venture into new terrain – poetry, fiction, journalism, even screenwriting – in search of tools for bringing your own memories more vividly to life. |
