Las Madrinas is an exciting new branch of Las Musas aimed at providing mentorship opportunities to Musas and to a select few in the wider community. Madrinas are established Latinx kidlit authors who will provide advice, collaboration, camaraderie, and more. We started Las Musas with the belief that we as Latinx women and non-binary authors are stronger together and that the Latinx community is not a monolith and so creating Las Madrinas is a natural evolution of our work. Each Madrina will either mentor one or more Musas or an unpublished writer from our new writer mentorship project, Hermanas. With the additional goal of reciprocity, the work of Madrinas will be happily promoted by Las Musas. Current debut Musas will eventually become Madrinas and continue to strengthen the unity of this community.
We are so thrilled for the opportunity to collaborate with authors who have come before us, opened doors and continue to make great contributions to our literature.
Stay tuned for the addition of more authors as we grow Las Madrinas Musas.
