Learn how to tell your story virtually with fellow Missouri veterans, military personnel, and their families in this three-session online workshop. Veterans Writing Workshops are designed to help participants develop the writing and narrative skills that can empower them to tell their stories, whether they be truelife accounts or wholly original tales. Participants are guided through writing exercises with meaningful feedback from professional writers and educators. Registration IS FREE, BUT SPACE IS LIMITED. Participants are encouraged to join all 3 sessions. In Session One, facilitator Trish Reeves will guide participants through ideas associated with the use of “Imagery and Movement” in poetry and prose. Through numerous examples Trish will illustrate the power of these two vital elements and how to incorporate them into storytelling through writing exercises.
