Gutenberg helps virtuous insurgents refine and publish their ideas.
Gutenberg is DEF’s writing collaborative, helping intrapreneurs share their ideas with a broader audience. This program continues the DEF tradition of creating a culture of innovation in the national security community by helping our members make an impact with the written word.
The Gutenberg program partners with aspiring authors to develop concepts, edit drafts, and promote their work through publication. DEF prides itself on producing tangible solutions. Sometimes this means creating a new product or cutting through red tape. At other times this means developing a new process, theory, or paradigm. Gutenberg helps take ideas from conceptualization through the writing process, editing, pitching, and eventual publication.

Writing Process
Writing Process
DEF members bring a concept, or a group of concepts, to the Gutenberg team. This initial degree of development ranges from a short conversation to an outline to an initial draft of a paper. Gutenberg helps the participant refine the concept, define their audience and intended impact, pick a publisher, write and pitch the paper, and market it after publication.
