I have often mentioned a blogging community I was once a part of.

I was new to writing for eyes other than my own. Believing I had no imagination to spin stories, I wrote only essays and articles. Raw is the only word I can use to describe my work, though it was always grammatically correct.

On this platform, I read scintillating writers. There was one whose stories were deeply moving. Another who wrote of everyday life but could pack such depth of experience and perception in one sentence that I was often awe-struck. Within months they became my dearest friends—a friendship that still endures after two decades.

Like a sponge I absorbed. I realized how elegant language could be when used deftly. I also learned that practicing word-economy augmented the grace and fulsomeness of well-written prose.

When I wrote my first story, I received lots of constructive criticism. One dear friend even asked me to email my story to her so she could simplify the complicated sentences. That was truly eye-opening. I cringed to see how I had gone round and round without ever coming to the point.

The writers in that community gave thoughtful feedback, shared their knowledge, and lifted each other up. Through their critiques—sometimes gentle, sometimes bracing—I learned how to refine my prose, wield language efficiently, and craft stories that resonated. I grew because I wrote often, having learned from my betters. That community was truly my home, my tribe. It made me the writer (and editor) I am today. 

My partner Nirja and I wanted to create that kind of space for others. A place where writers—seasoned, aspiring, and everyone in between—can learn, share, and evolve together. That’s why we created The Write Place, a WhatsApp-based writing community designed to nurture creativity, sharpen skills, and bring writers together.

Why Join The Write Place?

Writing is often a solitary endeavor, but the best writers aren’t islands. We grow when we interact, when we put our work out there, when we engage with others who understand the highs and lows of crafting words. The Write Place is built on that philosophy—a space where writers find encouragement, constructive criticism, and a steady stream of inspiration and learning. We will share articles, arrange webinars and hold Q&A sessions to help fellow writers put their best foot (words) forward.

No matter what kind of writing excites you, there’s a group here for you. Each group in The Write Place serves a unique purpose, ensuring that you always have a home for your words. Here’s what you can expect:
