Writing War is the curriculum for seminars and workshops provided by the Veterans Writing Project. Written by a veteran for veterans, active and reserve service members, and military family members, Writing War details the elements of craft involved in fiction and non-fiction writing. Beginning with the basic questions "Why do we write?" and "What's different about writing the military experience?", the book includes chapters on scene, setting, dialogue, narrative structure, character motivation and development, beginnings and endings, point of view, revision, writing about trauma, and making time in a busy life for writing. Writing War includes detailed examples demonstrating each element of craft. All examples used in the book were written by writers who are also veterans. It is written to be accessible to beginning and more experienced writers.
