Founded in 1988, it runs a Whidbey Island residency that provides private cottages and meals to support focused creative work while cultivating a community that exchanges feedback and links writers to wider audiences through readings, screenings, events, and festivals. The organization frames its mission around supporting visionary women writers whose voices shape culture now and for future generations. Its programs include workshops and public programming designed to bring writers' work to thousands of readers and audiences each year, including initiatives like a Screenwriters Showcase launched in 2022.
