Storyknife Writers Retreat

Storyknife Writers Retreat provides women writers with the time and space to devote to their craft.

Storyknife Writers Retreat hosts residencies for women writers from Alaska, across the United States, and around the world, giving them the time and space to explore their craft without distraction. Women’s voices are powerful and necessary. Storyknife was established to nurture those voices and provide women writers with a supportive community.

From April through October, Storyknife welcomes six writers each month, each staying in an individual cabin. They gather each evening to share a meal prepared by the retreat’s chef. Around the table, they build a community that continues to support them long after they return to their daily lives. Storyknife continues to celebrate the writers’ work and accomplishments as they move forward. The community of alumni grows like ripples in a pond, as women open doors for one another and celebrate each other’s accomplishments.
