Welcome to Gather Writing Essential (WE), the only Essential group that is solely member run by a team of different and talented Gather members who are here to help you create seven great days of writing. The Writing Essential group was created as a home for the Gather writers to congregate and publish their work while receiving constructive criticism. It is a place to share their experiences and ask questions about the craft of writing. Let me introduce you to the Member Editors:
