ABOUT WODC

Write On, Door County focuses on the importance of reading, writing and connecting people through stories. Nestled on a beautiful and inspiring 59-acre campus in the middle of the Door County peninsula, you’ll discover classes, programs, and special events year-round for writers of all ages and levels of experience.  Write On provides a place of solitude and reflection on 59 acres of woods, orchards, and meadows nestled between the water of Green Bay and Lake Michigan. Writers can work on a current project and find inspiration for the next without the distractions that hound them at home. Residencies range from one week to one month.
