Flick Creek Writing Workshops

Each year, I teach 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.

Contact Ana Maria for more information.

Whidbey Writers MFA Low-Residency Program

Whidbey Island, Washington

I’m delighted to be teaching on the permanent nonfiction faculty, and trying on some new bigger shoes as the Assistant Program Director, at Whidbey Writers Workshop MFA program, the first accredited program in the country that is not affiliated with a university.

This coming January, I will teach the Craft of Nonfiction and Directed Reading in Memoir. The residency is open, by application, to writers who are not enrolled in the MFA program.  This August I will be teaching the nonfiction writing workshop.  Courses are open in other genres (fiction, poetry, children/young adult writing) from the esteemed Whidbey faculty, and the cost of the residency includes a afternoon talks/evening readers by a stellar visiting faculty which has, in the past, included nonfiction writers such as Scott Russell Sanders, Kathleen Dean Moore, and Tim Egan.
