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.

We’re excited to introduce Plume’s October featured writer, Nari Kirk! Nari Kirk is a Korean American writer with an MFA in creative nonfiction from the University of New Mexico. Her work has appeared in Hobart (online) and the anthology All the Women in My Family Sing, among other publications. She lives in the Pacific Northwest. Check out Nari’s lovely selection of creative nonfiction essays, available in October’s Digital Plume. Her selection includes a flash essay and tribute, titled “Jenn,” about Plume’s beloved friend and co-founder, Jennifer Simpson. It’s gorgeous. We’ll make that essay available to all readers later this month. Check us out on Patreon to read Nari Kirk’s Digital Plume, and look for our interview with Nari, on Plume: A Writer’s Podcast, coming out next Tuesday!
