The Veterans' Writing Group-San Diego County, is a group of local veteran writers who conduct a monthly meeting for lectures and workshops from Hollywood professionals.
CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. - Veterans throughout San Diego County have found a way to speak their minds through a writer’s group mentored by Hollywood professionals.
The Veterans Writing Group – San Diego County consists of writers of all ages and backgrounds who come together to receive lectures and workshops from professional writers.
The idea started when the Writers’ Guild Foundation, an organization that educates and inspires writers, hosted a military veterans writing workshop last year. The workshop was held to help veterans improve their skills as writers, producers, screenwriters, journalists and novelists.
Since April 2008, the foundation has held weekend-long writing workshops in which professional writers mentor veterans and active duty military personnel, encouraging them to express themselves in writing.
