The personal essay can be the door through which writers enter the writing world. It is short, relatively easy to publish, and often leads the writer into longer narratives in fiction and creative non-fiction. It is the author’s take on the world, which is why many writers first discover their authentic voice in this form. The personal essay is unique: it can be used to entertain, enlighten, and inspire the reader.
