Creative Writing Workshop for Military Spouses and Caregivers – presented by Community Building Art Works
Thursday Dec 3rd, and Dec 17th
3:30 – 4:30PM ET
Military Spouses and Caregivers, it’s time to tell your story. Join author Seema Reza for a virtual creative writing workshop. Writing is a powerful tool for communication, self-discovery, and reflection. We will read a short piece of writing, see what makes it work, and use it to enter into our own stories. Bring a notebook and a good pen. Seema has led workshops with veterans, service members, healthcare workers, and university students.
No writing experience required—if you can talk, you can write.
Join one session or join them all!
