The Military Writers Guild (MWG) fosters a community of writers who explore difficult and complex topics related to the military, security, and defense sectors. MWG podcasts explore war and the written word, as well as illuminate our members and their work.


The Pen and the Sword was the inaugural podcast of the Military Writers Guild, hosted by member and former President, Adin Dobkin. It seeks to examine war and the written word through discussions with service members, veterans, civilian analysts, and writers.

We will re-launch this podcast in the first half of 2025. Stay tuned!
