Project Description
Veterans Writing
Our Veterans Writing Workshops offer a safe place for veterans to write about their experiences. Previous writing experience is not necessary, and writing workshops can be offered at any level:
Transformational writing workshops help people recover from trauma by practicing expressive writing. We offer Transformational Writing Workshops on Thursdays from 4 to 6 p.m. at Mt. Carmel Veterans Services in Colorado Springs beginning October 3rd. Learn more or register
Creative writing workshops inspire expression
Professional-level workshops help writers prepare their work for the public and will start soon in Ft. Collins
We look forward to working with you and other potential partners in your community to design a program that best serves your needs. In our Arts in Society award-winning Denver program, Colorado Humanities published a book collecting work by workshop participants, paid its authors and editors, and facilitated a Denver metro-wide reading and conversation series.
