Learn more about your mentor:
Preferred Age Category: Middle Grade Preferred Genre or Sub-Genres: Contemporary, magical realism, spooky or weird stuff! As a mentor I love working on: Revision! I’ve got different methods and resources, so digging in and finding a system that works for a writer to find the heart of their story is so fun! Areas of expertise/strengths as a mentor: Workshopping story and plot; humor; pacing; relationships Areas of weakness as a mentor: It can take me a couple of days to respond to non-urgent emails. And I’m a slow reader when critique manuscripts (but I read closely and give good notes :) ). |
