Split Rock's Online Mentoring for Writers program connects writers with outstanding mentors to provide individually tailored, constructive assistance with literary fiction, nonfiction, and poetry projects of any size or scope. The goal is to enable you to strengthen and sustain your writing as you work, one-on-one, with a renowned, practicing writer and teacher of writing, toward self-defined goals.
Understanding Your Needs as a Writer
All writers—beginning, intermediate, or advanced—need constructive criticism on work in progress, whether it’s getting through a first draft or readying a manuscript for publication.
You may need a complement to workshops or conferences, you may need the individual consultation that a curriculum-based class or workshop setting can’t give you, or you may simply prefer one-on-one mentoring from an experienced writer and teacher. If you have a specific project on which you want to work, Online Mentoring for Writers will benefit you. And because mentoring take place online, you can work from the convenience of your home or office (or laptop location!) in flexible time frame that suits your schedule.
A Choice of Mentors
It can be an intimidating task to find an appropriate mentor. First, you must locate an experienced writer you feel you can learn from, and then you must approach that person, who may or may not be amenable to your request. Online Mentoring for Writers eliminates these concerns by offering a roster of outstanding mentors who are committed to the program.
You may choose to create a relationship with a writer whose approach to mentoring fits your needs, or you may have Split Rock select a mentor for you.
A Choice of Mentorships
After Groundwork, a no-obligation, modestly priced introductory exchange with your mentor, you may choose from three mentorships that offer three, six, or nine hours of your mentor's time.
