This landmark collection of writing from Canadian women veterans is the product of a unique community writing and mentorship program called Her Story, developed by Writers Collective of Canada (WCC) and delivered over nine weeks in 2024.
The diversity of these stories and poems is a testament to how the WCC workshop experience creates a wide-open space for self-discovery and expression. These narrators wrestle with trauma, celebrate fredom, and explore life’s many seasons through story. Just as powerfully, this collection provides confirmation of the authors’ journeys from isolation to community.
This inspiring chapbook celebrates what Writers Collective of Canada (WCC) has learned over ten years of delivering its innovative community writing workshops. Like the organization and its workshops, the book is structured around the WCC’s Six Essential Practices. Each chapter examines one practice, why it is essential, and how it achieves its desired impact. The story is told through a kaleidoscope of voices that include WCC writers, partners, volunteers, staff, researchers, and supporters.
