Welcome Gather writers to the Writing Essential! The Writing Essential was created as a home for Gather writers of all levels, from beginners to advanced writers, to congregate and publish their work and receive constructive criticism, as well as to share their experiences and ask questions about the craft of writing. This Essential will host a dynamic and ever changing array of content and is unique from any other Essential on the site. Why? Because it is run by Gather members!



Each day, a different Gather member Writing Essentials Editor will moderate the group and feature work based on quality of writing and possibly a theme that the Editor has chosen. Our Member Editors come from diverse writing backgrounds, so one day you may find poetry as the feature theme. Another day, it might be personal memoirs. And the next day, it might be a mix of the best writing across all genres.



The Writing Essential is a place for you to find familiar faces and discover new talent and friends with the same passion. We encourage you to publish your works of fiction (poetry, prose, plays, screenplays) and nonfiction (memoirs, interviews with other writers and published authors, and questions about the craft of writing and the pursuit of publishing). We look forward to reading your work and hearing about your experiences as a writer.
