If writing and publishing were easy, every writer's face would be smiling out from the back of a book jacket. At Fat Plum, we want to help writers stick to it and find the reward: that sweet prize called "publication."
While there are many sources for the encouragement and affirmation that writers need to get started, what Fat Plum provides is what we ourselves often need as writers: the structure and discipline to get it done.
To that end we aim to offer tools and products, workshops, consulting and a la carte services for writing, editing, publishing and promoting books.
Being a writer is hard work. Fat Plum helps you enjoy the fruits of your labor.
