![]() ![]() By unpublished, we mean having not signed a contract for the publication of a novel or picture book, where you have received an advance. ![]() If you are self-published, but wish to pursue a traditional route with your current work, you are eligible to apply. We’re looking for unpublished and unagented writers for this one, only. That said, we’ll still ask you to add some writing materials to your application as mentors will want to know your work before choosing to pair with you.Īpplications will be via a short form where you state why mentoring would help you, and attach a standard submission package for your work: letter, synopsis, 3 chapters OR letter and Picture Book. Please do read the post linked above, to fully understand the ethos of the new programme – it’s now a mentoring focus rather than an editorial one. Mentoring period: 1st May – undefined (this is where the flexibility comes in – we suggest a period of less than 12 months in total – though you may want to make it 6 or 9, or extend it further – the only stipulation is about 6 hours of time via email/calls over the year and a reminder that mentors are volunteering, so no unrealistic demands upon them or their time). ![]() Mentee application window: Weds 12th-Fri 14th April. Mentor chats on Twitter: Mon/Tues 10/11th April 7-9pm DROP-IN (mentors will attend for an hour during this window), so simply post your questions using #WriteMentor and they’ll get to them during this period. ![]()
