Are you a veteran who wants to write, share and publish your stories about your military experience? Each week, participants will use different creative writing techniques, from poetry to collage to memoir. The series will culminate in a personal literary zine and reading on Veteran’s Day where participants will be encouraged to share their work with the community.
