About this event
Join us for a free writing workshop hosted by author Chris Boucher.
Boucher’s most recent novel was inspired by his father-in-law, the deceased and sadly-missed Fred Galus Jr. of Chelmsford. A decorated Vietnam veteran, Galus kept a journal of his time “in country.”
Front Pivot features excerpts from a fictional diary by a veteran of our involvement in Afghanistan. In the story, two teens struggle to make sense of their dead father’s role in another complicated war.
The workshop will be of interest to veterans looking for a means of processing their own experience as well as the children of veterans. Boucher will discuss how he researched and wrote the novel and provide guidance to those interested in recording or interpreting similar experiences.

Please note:
The Valley of Writers team scours the web looking for the most inspiring, elevating, and accessible events that we can share as a service to our readers.
The big idea is that in a virtual arena, more people can participate. Geographical boundaries matter less.
The events we list are virtual and can be attended by writers from wherever they are in the world.
Unless otherwise stated, we are not affiliated with and do not benefit financially from the events we post. Listing is not an endorsement of the content, opinions, or products promoted by the event organizers we feature here.
Please verify all dates, times and other event details as these are subject to change and are beyond our control.
What qualifies an event as ‘lit’? Any event that we think would teach writers of fiction, memoir, and poetry useful skills, inspire them to produce great work, remind them of the power of this work we do and build stronger, mutually beneficial ties between writers and other creatives.
