Transformative. Rejuvenating. Inspirational. The Impact of The War Horse Writing Seminars
The War Horse’s Writing Seminars ensure those most affected by war have the chance to share their stories and have a voice in the national conversation.
The War Horse is an award-winning newsroom educating the public on military service through journalism, public forums, and writing seminars. Since 2016, we have trained 50 veterans and military family members during four writing seminars alongside award-winning journalists and authors. Our War Horse Fellows have written for New York Times Magazine and CNN, and have appeared on PBS NewsHour and at SXSW. Our programs have been recognized for excellence in investigative reporting, multimedia storytelling, and business innovation.
