This private community site is where we host all our educational events and let you connect and network. It's moderated so that we can maintain a friendly, supportive atmosphere. You can talk with other writers, learn from our coaches, hear some otter puns, and even group into accountability groups.
For right now, only Plottr customers have access unless you have attended one of our educational events. In the future we will be opening this community up to anyone!
