About the Workshop
The Warrior Writers Workshop provides a safe space for Veterans to tell their stories using prompts and discussion about a variety of military issues and experiences. This workshop encourages sharing stories, opinions, and ideas for productive writing, reflecting, storytelling, and art-making. A highlight of the workshop for many Veterans is having the space to release bottled-up thoughts and emotions alongside others who can relate. Warrior Writers is for all Veterans, regardless of era, combat, deployment or experience with the arts.
