Veterans Creative Writing
Veterans Creative Writing
Numerous studies have shown that writing creatively, with no expectations and few rules, is a wonderfully healthy and positive outlet. Come join us for an hour a week to write, create, explore, and reflect. Every session will consist of an opening short reading, an assigned writing prompt (designed to inspire creativity and thought, not to shape content), plenty of writing time, and an optional sharing and reflection time. No homework. No experience or prior education background is necessary, and you can write any way you’d like: with a keyboard, or with a pen.
Butler Veterans Creative Arts Programs support veterans and their families by providing community-based opportunities for creative expression. Each program is completely free, and most meet weekly on Butler’s campus.
