Our mission is to build a supportive writing community for women and non-binary writers. We write. We share inspiration. We encourage. Together, we create an energizing community space for writers:
- Plume: A Writer’s Podcast: Our podcast features successful women and non-binary writers, from emerging writers to bestselling novelists and award-winning poets. Our conversations and literary roundtables showcase hard-working talented writers, as we seek advice, insight, and inspiration to bring us back to our collective community. Along the way, our goal is to help writers believe in their voices and projects.
- Our Weekly Drop-in Zoom Group: Now in its third year, this is a virtual drop-in support group, where writers check in about current projects and share writing challenges and triumphs. We also write together in response to a new writing prompt each week.
- Our Plume Slack Channel: This is an online virtual space where women and non-binary writers can share resources, ask questions, connect with other writers, share writing prompts and projects, and offer and receive support in a safe, private space.
- Plume’s Monthly Accountability Group: Plume’s newest community-building addition, the Accountability Group, is designed for writers tackling large-scale writing projects. We meet to set goals, discuss strategies, offer encouragement, and help hold ourselves and each other accountable.
Through Plume’s literary community, we seek to uplift, showcase, and encourage women and non-binary writers wherever they are on their creative writing journey. We’re here to fan each other’s flames.

This month, we’re happy to introduce Plume’s November featured writer, Kendra Tuthill! Kendra Tuthill holds an MA in Fiction Writing from Portland State University. She has won several awards for her plays and screenplays, most notably landing a semi-finalist position in Francis Ford Coppola’s American Zoetrope Screenwriting Contest for her dark, superhero screenplay titled Kendar the Destroyer. She lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where she works in the Art Department on independent features and studio shows such as Making a Killing and Better Call Saul. To pass time between productions, she writes dystopian screenplays and dramatic novels. As our November featured writer, Kendra Tuthill wrote a thought-provoking letter that ruminates on our lost attention spans and how we might incrementally reclaim some of our creative time. She shared an excerpt from Stitches, her beautiful, haunting novel, which you can read in our Digital Plume. Check us out on Patreon to read Kendra Tuthill’s Digital Plume, and look for our interview with Kendra, on Plume: A Writer’s Podcast, coming out next Tuesday! Melanie, Sam, and Dawn
