Today on the Pen and the Sword, we kicked off the reboot of our podcast with a focus on collaborative writing and on informal communities of practice like the Military Writers Guild that advance their missions as volunteer-run organizations. 

There is nobody better to discuss those topics than Dr. Nathan Finney. Nate is a historian, a Strategist in the United States Army, and the President of the Military Writers Guild. Nate was the editor of the book “On Strategy”, published by Army University Press, and co-editor with Ty Mayfield of the book “Redefining the Modern Military”. We discussed the challenges of editing a book with multiple authors.

Nate Finney is also one of the founding members of our guild, and since every nerd likes a good origin story, we decided to ask him about that as well.

Writing as a Community with Nathan Finney

The Pen and the Sword, the podcast of the Military Writers Guild, seeks to examine war and the written word through discussions with service members, veterans, civilian analysts, and writers.
