Welcome to The Sapper Scribe

The Sapper Scribe is for military spouses and servicemembers that have something to say but don't know where to start.

 

Military spouses deserve more than just idle "thank you's" and "you serve too's." You deserve opportunities to learn and grow in a way that conforms to your chaotic and nomadic lifestyle. Writing gives you an opportunity to create, to share what is in your mind, and to make your voice heard.

 

As for servicemembers, the military encourages writing more and more as you move up in your career, but most of our professional journals favor longer research papers (3,500-5-000 words). That's quite a deep pool to jump into. The mission of the Sapper Scribe is to bridge the gap, giving you the skills, tools and confidence to take your writing wherever you want it to go. The only barrier is knowledge of the process.

​

• What is getting "published?" Where do I start?

• Is my idea worth reading?

• Who do I get in contact with and what should I expect?

• Am I allowed to write about the military?

 

There are a thousand places that will help you improve your writing. Our goal is to help you become a writer, and maybe, be your first publisher.
