AUSA is hosting a writing and editing workshop, AUSA Writing Workshop: Powerful Prose, to provide practical advice on specific articles and essays through all stages of writing and editing in the DoD world, specifically in the Army, enabling Soldiers to communicate more clearly and effectively.
This workshop is a one-day, in-person event for which each participant is encouraged to bring a rough draft or outline of a current paper or article, and will be given writing space to work on the paper during the workshop, applying practical principles learned.
