ABOUT US

Who are we? We're three writers from varied backgrounds, but with a common aim: helping other writers achieve their goals.

We formed Fat Plum because we saw that while there are lots of tools and resources to help new writers get started, there wasn't much in the world to help any writer get finished—that is, to sort out the tricky bits of writing, set and stick to deadlines, finished manuscripts, and polish them to send out for publication.

With our collective skills in critiquing and brainstorming, editing, managing projects, and coaching, plus our massed background in writing and publishing, we could fill this void.

So that's what we do. And we love it.
