 From “why we write” to “how to write” and then “write,” the Red Badge Project helps veterans tell their stories.

Free workshops are held at the Walla Walla Public Library, 238 E. Alder St., for three weeks with the first week already on the books. Friday workshops are from 2-4 p.m. and 6-8 p.m. and Saturday workshops are from 10 a.m.-noon and 1-3 p.m.

 Brian McDonald will lead the “How to Write” workshops on June 21-22 helping student storytellers step outside of the norm and open up to possibilities.

In addition to basic story structure, they also learn to express the sincere reason they tell stories.

Shawn Wong will lead the “Write” workshops on June 28-29 showing student storytellers how characters work on the page and as surrogates for ourselves. They also learn to make their tales universally accessible while sincerely personal.

To register, call Library Director Beth Hudson at 524-4433 or [email protected] or contact your VA health team.
