VORTEXT is an extraordinary weekend salon at the famed Whidbey Institute, led by renowned women writers.
The program, now in its seventh year, gives writers the opportunity to connect in diverse and powerful small-group workshops. Writers also enjoy dynamic keynotes and discussions about opportunities and challenges for women who write, as well as several open mics over the course of the weekend.
