SUMMARY:Write Doe Bay
DESCRIPTION:Write Doe Bay is an intimate artists’ retreat and multi-workshop event held at beautiful Doe Bay Resort on Orcas Island in Washington State. We host award-winning authors/artists of genres ranging from memoir\, fiction\, screenplay\, songwriting\, poetry\, and more. We welcome participants at any stage of their creative path including those who are ready to take their very first steps. \nAt Write\, beginners and seasoned writers will transcend genre to get to the heart of storytelling. The workshop brings together accomplished leadership to inspire\, guide and offer the tools to unlock the work you know is waiting. Getting to Orcas Island may feel like you are travelling to the end of the earth. You may take a boat\, plane\, train and automobile to get here — and all in one day. The journey to the upper left corner of the USA is part of the experience\, it’s true. Also: the weekend will be intense. It will challenge you. You won’t have heaps of time for independent project work. Our intimate setting and low participant-to-instructor ratio means you’ll have the tools to go home and do the work you need to do. Are you ready? Welcome to Write. We can’t wait to meet you.
