AUSA is pleased to host our second annual "AUSA Writing & Editing Workshop: Powerful Prose," in which participants will: have ample opportunity to network; be updated on the current state of affairs of writing in the Army; hear from doctrine and storytelling experts; take a look at the incorporation of AI into the creative process; learn from highly successful podcasters; and do an extensive dive into the writing and editing process with a team of masters in the field. Attendees from across DoW and beyond will walk away enabled to think, write, edit and communicate more clearly and effectively.
