Mini Writing Retreat at the Poulsbo Library
Our first official event on the peninsular side of the great salt divide!
Poulsbo is on the Kitsap Peninsula, an easy ferry ride from Seattle and parts north, an easy drive up from Tacoma and parts south.
Two independent writing sessions with a lunch break.
You bring your writing project, find a spot to sit in the large meeting room that we’ve reserved for the day (plenty of space to spread your writing out) or find a spot elsewhere in the library.
Connect with your SinC siblings for lunch or wander on your own – the Poulsbo Farmers Market or one of Poulsbo’s sweet restaurants will provide plenty to fill your needs.
Join together at the end of the day for closing connection. Please reach out to info@pugetsoundsinc.com with questions or to sign up.

What every writer should know about going indie, with Catherine Matthews
Whether you’re working on your first novel, in the query trenches, or already a traditionally- or hybrid-published author, Indie publishing may be the best path for you. Do you want more control over your work? A greater share of the royalties? Are you passionate enough about your project to do whatever it takes to get it in the hands of readers? This session will help authors decide if Indie publishing is right for them. You’ll learn about the broad phases of Indie publishing and the general steps within them. You’ll learn how Indie authors manage the business of writing while continuing to produce new works.
