Outside the Wire: Virtual Creative Writing Workshop

ABOUT THE FACILITATORS

Warriors Writers is a veterans focused arts nonprofit that fosters artistic exploration and expression through casual, welcoming writing workshops, designed for people of all writing and art experience and exposure. By reflecting and creating in a comfortable space, we encourage and support healing and community building.

ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP

Facilitated by experienced Warrior Writers artists, this generative creative writing workshop will offer prompts from various forms of art surrounding themes of reaching milestones, how we celebrate in hard times, and how we search for joy when the world feels joyless. We will examine and discuss art created by veterans and spend time writing our reflections. We encourage participants to share stories, opinions, and ideas to lead to productive writing and storytelling. “Generative” refers to creating something new in this space. These workshops focus on finding inspiration and how the act of writing and sharing in community can help us process and even heal. These workshops are open to ALL veterans, service members, and their families; no prior writing experience is necessary.

This is a virtual workshop held on Zoom.    Register

Participants in this workshop will have the opportunity to submit their work to the Outside the Wire literary exhibit, to be published by the Rutgers-Camden Writers House in spring 2026.

Each of the two Outside the Wire workshops this year will center around the theme of celebration, with different prompts. We hope to see you at one or both.
