Outside the Wire: Writing Grief

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 creative writing workshop will offer prompts from various forms of art surrounding the theme of grief, the many forms it can take, and the ways it impacts our lives. 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. These workshops are free and open to all veterans, service members, and their families; no prior writing experience is necessary.

Participants in this workshop will have the opportunity to submit their work to the Outside the Wire literary magazine, to be published by the Rutgers-Camden Writers House in spring 2025.

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