If you’ve talked to Melanie or me over the last few months, you know that Plume is …. well, maybe you don’t know what it is other than something for women creative writers. We’ve actually been refining our idea, researching the market, and we entered a business plan competition that we hoped would net us some startup funds. Melanie wrote about those results in the previous post (hint: as writers, we know how to handle rejection).

Anyway, the judges were so impressed with our plan and our competence that they decided we didn’t need their money (that’s my story and I’m stickin’ to it).
Onward!
The core of our subscription is that each subscriber will get a letter from a featured successful woman writer, along with a sampling of her work in the form of an essay, a short story, some poetry, or an excerpt from a larger work. We have some amazing writers lined up and have been absolutely blown away by their generosity in sharing their writerly advice, and their creative work.
A Plume subscription will also include some encouragement, a writing prompt, some nourishment for your creative soul, and some magic from New Mexico… join our mailing list so you don’t miss out on our inaugural edition coming soon to YOUR mailbox!
Meet Amy Wallen
Our first featured writer is Amy Wallen. I’ve known Amy for many years, first as a fellow writer in various groups in San Diego, then as the founder of DimeStories (nee First Fridays). In fact, when I applied to my MFA program, I asked her to write me a letter of recommendation… first she asked me, “Do you really need to go to graduate school to write a book?”
