Craig Medred: Deadly playground
By Tamara Hardingham-Gill, CNN Travel: This teenager cycled from Alaska to Argentina
Hey there,
We’ve been thinking about spices. Beyond musings about growing our own saffron a few weeks ago, we’ve been thinking about the idea that for the most part, no matter where you might be in North America, many or most of the spices you use in your cooking come from elsewhere.

Spring into…
Right this moment, there are six women writers in residency at Storyknife. Six women bringing words into the world from the quiet and safety of their own cabins. We can’t wait to read what they are creating!
To kick off the residency season, Founder Dana Stabenow is issuing a challenge to match the fellowship and travel scholarship funds that she donates each year. Storyknife fellowships are $5000 to support one writer while in residency. Dana also offers a $1000 scholarship to support the travel of one resident. If you’d like to read more about the other fellowships currently being offered you can check them out on Storyknife’s website.
If you’d like to sponsor a fellowship, please let me know at ehollowell@storyknife.org. Sponsors of a fellowship are encouraged to specify what kind of writer they’d like to support, name the fellowship, and when possible meet with their fellows. It’s a wonderful way to know that you’re making a difference in a woman writer’s life.
This April, Dana is challenging us to raise $6,000 to match her annual donation. A donation in April not only honors Storyknife’s Founder and her continued support but ALSO will support a woman writer putting her heart on the page.
If you’d like to dedicate your donation to Dana, or to anyone else who has positively impacted your life, please let us know on the donation form.
We’re very excited to kick off the year, planting the seeds of good writing that will undoubtedly blossom into good reading for all of us and a more joyful and hopeful world.
Support Women Writers in our April Fellowship Challenge
If you prefer to donate by check, please send your donation to Storyknife, PO BOX 75, Homer, AK 99603.
take care and stay safe,
