Therefore, the purpose of this community service is to provide creative writing assistance for SMPN 2 Padang teachers so that teachers can contribute reading materials to fill the gaps. The service method is carried out by collective and personal workshops and mentoring, both through face-to-face and online meetings. The targeted outputs are (a) the skills of teachers in obtaining technology-based information sources, (b) the ability of teachers to process ideas or writing themes, (c) the courage of teachers to express ideas by paying attention to linguistic aspects, (d) the ability of teachers to write ideas by paying attention to the style of the environment. , and (e) record written work with the teacher in a book.
