Orcas Island

Along with an amazing group of board of directors, helped found and brand the inaugural annual Orcas Island Lit Fest, an intimate world-class literary event that takes place on one of the most beautiful places on Earth. The mission of the Orcas Island Literary Fest (OILF) is to bring together people who love toread books with the authors who love to write them. Historically, the written word has been one of, if not the most potent, art forms practiced by mankind. At the very least, books have educated or entertained readers for centuries. Books also have the power to inspire, provoke, heal, and transform. Our aim is to share written works that accomplish all of those feats. The Orcas Island Literary Festival will focus on welcoming a diverse group of Pulitzer Prize winners, emerging new voices, critically-acclaimed and award-winning writers, poets and literary figures from around the world to Orcas Island for a weekend of celebrating the literary arts.
