CLARKSVILLE, TN – USA Today and Amazon bestselling author C.G. Cooper plans to visit the Steven A. Cohen Military Family Clinic at Centerstone to share his trade with veterans and military family members.
Cooper, a former infantry officer in the Marine Corps, is the author of more than 35 novels. His Corps Justice series draws from his time in service and boasts more than 2 million book downloads, and has had multiple appearances in the Amazon Top 100.
Now, to give back to his fellow brothers and sisters in arms, Cooper will host a writing workshop for aspiring writers within the military community or those simply looking to learn more about the craft.
“The brotherhood and sisterhood aspect of taking care of the person next to you and your friends and your family, that’s really what I think I try to put into really all my novels no matter the genre,” Cooper said in a KDP University interview. “I think that’s really what I walked away from the Marine Corps with was a better education on, ‘Hey how do we take care of people?’ That’s what I miss the most about the Marine Corps – that camaraderie, that brotherhood, that ‘Hey we will do anything for each other.’”
Cooper’s writing workshop will be held in the community room at Cohen Clinic at Centerstone, 775 Weatherly Drive on June 9 from 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m. It is free to registered participants.
“We are absolutely thrilled that Mr. Cooper has graciously agreed to share his time with us,” Julie Adams, clinic director said. “He is a huge supporter of our military families and has become a friend of the clinic. He is extremely personable and incredibly talented. We hope our military families take advantage of this wonderful opportunity. The themes that Cooper writes about very much match up with the things our clients miss about being in service.”
Registration for the writing workshop can be found at Creative Writing Workshop with C.G. Cooper Registration Form. Participants will receive a signed copy of Cooper’s recent novel, “The First.”
