But with two small kids, I think it will be a few more years before I can get away for that long. Thank you so much for your feedback, on Hedgebrook in particular.

My first was Hedgebrook -- one of the most rewarding and amazing experiences of my adult life! I went to Mesa Refuge, also fantastic, and then Norcroft, which, unfortunately closed a couple of years ago. All of them were fantastic, and after each residency I published a new piece of writing. Even though I didn't write every day at home, I did write every day and all day at the residencies. Hedgebrook was like a residency and a mini-mfa all rolled into one thanks to the wonderful combination of writers in attendance -- we spent the days writing and the nights eating cookies and drinking wine and reading and discussing our work. Don't delay! Put in your application! I've gone to three residencies. My first was Hedgebrook — one of the most rewarding and amazing experiences of my adult life!

I stayed in that very cottage in 1989! My experience at Hedgebrook -- followed by the Bennington MFA Writing Seminars and fellowships at UCross and Vermont Studio Center -- planted a dream seed that has just come to fruition. As the director of Beach Shack Writers' Residency on Hilton Head Island, I hope to recreate the same kind of wonderful experience that set me on my path. Thanks for this great post!

Hanni - I've never been to Taos (for writing) or Tin House, but Squaw was great. Most people there didn't have MFAs, so you'll fit right in.
