Veterans writing group publishes anthology
The Veterans’ Voices Writing Workshop has published its first anthology of work, “For Them, By Us,” which is available on Amazon.
Contributors to the anthology come from many walks of life, and bring myriad talents and backgrounds to the table. Many were not trained writers when they joined the workshop. The program encourages free thinking, open discussion, and supportive critique which promotes a safe and constructive environment.
While the focus of the workshop is not therapeutic in nature, organizers say creative endeavor tends to promote healing and the participants of the workshop have seen positive results from their work with the group.
Local author Weston DeWalt serves as the workshop leader.
Veterans’ Voices Writing Workshop meets at the Veteran’s Memorial Building at 130 Placerville Drive every Monday night at 6:30, excluding holidays. The current session runs March 12, March 19, March 26, April 2, and April 9. The program is free to all veterans from any branch of service.
