Writing Club: A Community Dedicated to Writing and Literature

1_4983683924891795720.png

Literature is a valuable part of the Hive landscape and its creative, inspiring and dedicated content creators. Many dedicate themselves to delight us with their beautiful and sad poetry, with the captivating stories and micro-stories that leave us always wanting to taste more of their thoughts and inspirations, and the extraordinary effort that goes into their creation.

The exploration of literature is an expression of the soul. This community was formed because we want to see your most sincere thoughts captured in real and heartfelt pieces, whether long form or shorter pieces. Many of the longer form pieces can be overlooked on HIVE, but we’d like to acknowledge your work and celebrate it.

Saying that, there are no limits in literature and therefore we won't impose them on you! Some of the best writers broke all the rules.

Your publications on the art of writing are always welcome too.

All communities have guidelines for excellent content, and by following these and writing engaging work, you might even be a candidate for OCD votes! Two of our mods are OCD curators and we will do our best to garner support for you.

  • You can post here all your original writings. Plagiarism and reposts can lead to being banned or muted.
  • Please proofread for spelling and grammar. Nothing is more satisfying than reading something well written.
  • Creativity is rewarded. The themes and genres in literature are many, so explore them all.
  • Please no hatred towards other people, groups of people, religions, or personal beliefs. Your characters may do so, but only as a way of exploring larger themes and issues in society rather than clearly conveying the viewpoint of the writer.
  • Feel free to invite your friends to join, sharing and commenting on the posts you like the most.
  • Your posts must be in English or English/native language (bilingual).

Types of Literature We Love to Support - Plus, a Note about the Crafting Process

We really appreciate an extra note about the kind of literature you are experimenting with, and why you may have chosen that structure. As we’re a community focussed on literature, conversations on literature are really interesting to us.

Thus, we also would love to read posts about the creation process, or see a small preface that precedes your writing. What is your poem or story about? What led you to that idea? What did you struggle most with, and what are you most pleased about? Would you like a critique of your work?

The Micro-Story

The micro-story is a very short fiction story, so short that it barely needs a few lines to be told (it usually has between five and two hundred words).

Poetry

There are many different types of poetry. Free verse is also appreciated.

We’d love you to experiment with all kinds of poetry, so do a little research and experiment with various forms!

Stories (with chapters) and short stories

We love it when inspiration leads us to make great stories. We also really appreciate posts with a short introduction that explores how the idea was developed, and a ‘blurb’ about what it’s about. This helps our mods and community owners decide what they might read first, and when.

.

We also recommend your stories have an original cover image. If you cannot find an original image, please make sure you source the image you chose.



We are excited about seeing your growth as a writer and hope we can do all we can to support you!
