The Veterans Writing Group of San Diego County is pleased to welcome bestselling author and historian Sara Vladic as a guest speaker at its upcoming meeting.
Vladic is a New York Times bestselling author, award-winning filmmaker, and one of the nation’s leading experts on the USS Indianapolis, the U.S. Navy cruiser whose sinking during World War II became one of the most tragic maritime disasters in American history. She spent more than two decades researching the story and interviewing survivors. Her work culminated in the New York Times bestseller “Indianapolis,” co-authored with Lynn Vincent.
During the meeting, Vladic will discuss her bestselling work, her research process, and her newest book, “The Dangerous Shore,” which explores the little-known story of an American community during World War II and the challenges they faced on the home front.
The presentation will offer attendees an inside look at historical research, storytelling, publishing, and the importance of preserving the experiences of veterans and their families through the written word.
The Veterans Writing Group welcomes veterans, active-duty personnel, and family members interested in writing, memoirs, fiction, poetry, and storytelling.
The Veterans’ Writing Group of San Diego County meets on the third Saturday of every month from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and offers both in-person and Zoom participation.
