“The pen is mightier than the sword,” goes the timeworn adage, and for two writing workshops in Waco this June, the pen may help those who have used the sword.

Veteran Writes, a project of Dallas-based The Writer’s Garret, will lead a weekly writing workshop for veterans and their spouses beginning Thursday at the Doris Miller Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Waco and ahire vets broader June 18 workshop and panel discussion, “Writing as a Healing Practice,” at the West Waco Library, 5301 Bosque Blvd.

Leading the weekly “Learning to Share Your Story” workshop is Austin writer Leila Levinson, author of the 2013 Texas Nonfiction Book Award finalist “Gated Grief.” Levinson teaches writing at St. Edward’s University in Austin and for three years has led writing workshops for veterans in Austin.
