The Writing Atlas Team
Writing Atlas originally began as a side project in December 2020 when it was spun out of Plympton, Inc., with a focus on cataloging short stories. The heightened deal making in Hollywood for short stories have prompted an entire rewrite of the project to put content submission and discovery on the forefront. We’re rebuilding from the ground up with the following mission in mind: every story deserves to be read.
The humans helping us achieve this vision are...
