Who: Beginner and experienced writers, child or adult, are invited to participate in this progressive workshop series that is open to veterans, active-duty military and their family members.

Whether you're new to writing, wanting to publish something, or have been published already, then this workshop is for you.

Specialists in various genres and techniques will be available to answer questions and provide guidance through this project.
