Las Hermanas Mentorship Program

Las Hermanas is a selection-based mentorship program for traditionally unpublished Latinx kidlit writers. It will connect unpublished writers with current Musas and Madrinas. Mentees will benefit from the craft and industry experience of their mentor and will have the opportunity to ask for publishing/marketing related advice and/or receive help with a specific manuscript.

Mentees should be Latinx (comfortable identifying on the female spectrum) authors who would like guidance on a specific Middle Grade or Young Adult project for a period of six months -- from August 15, 2019 - January 15, 2020.

Most Musa/Madrina mentors will be available for 1-2 hours weekly. Specific availability will be determined before the beginning of the mentorship.

We will be selecting up to five Hermanas. Priority will be given to marginalized community members and those who can demonstrate advanced progress on their MG/YA projects. Those previously published by indi presses are eligible to apply.

Our first round of mentee applications is NOW OPEN. Deadline to apply is July 15, 2019. No applications will be considered after this date. Please only submit one application per person. Applicants will be notified by August 1, 2019 on whether they’ve been paired with a Musa/Madrina.

To be considered for this round, please fill out and submit the form below:
