HEDGEBROOK FELLOWS PROGRAM

Invited writers expand Hedgebrook’s community to include high profile women invested in authoring change through their lives and writing. Women writers who embody Hedgebrook’s spirit and mission.
Fellows stay in Meadowhouse, originally the groundskeepers cottage. In exchange for their residency, Fellows offer to raise Hedgebrook’s visibility in the world by being guests of honor and keynote speakers at our public events.
