apply for a mentorship
Are you a dedicated writer who has a finished manuscript and are looking for some guidance to take the next steps toward publication? Apply for a Storymentorship! There are two mentorship tracks to choose from based on your publishing goals for the upcoming year.
Indie Publishing Mentorship
This mentorship is for those who have a complete manuscript that they’re hoping to publish independently and who want some guidance as they prepare to launch their own publishing venture.
Traditional Publishing Mentorship
If you have a complete manuscript and you want someone to help you get ready to jump into the querying game, the Traditional Publishing Mentorship focuses on preparing you to find an agent or submit to a small press.
