Description: No writer is an island, but some of us live on one. When you reside on an island like Orcas, you become more aware of how you're connected to those around you. If you write or just love books, there's a place for you here. We're a small festival focused on developing our craft while networking with other writers. Come join us for morning workshops in poetry and prose writing, afternoon classes, and evening readings by our talented, award-winning team of instructors and visiting presenters. Spend a few days off the coast of Washington and experience the best of island life. You won't go home unchanged.
