Las Madrinas branch works within the Hermanas mentorship program. We started Las Musas with the belief that we are stronger together and that the Latinx community is not a monolith and so creating Las Madrinas is a natural evolution of our work.
Madrinas are established Latinx kidlit authors and illustrators who will provide advice, critique, camaraderie, and more via the mentorship program.
With the additional goal of reciprocity, the work of Madrinas will be promoted by selective Musas channels. 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 and illustrators who have come before us, opened doors and continue to make great contributions to our literature.
In 2020, we were excited to be joined by Mara Delgado, who was part of our trial run of Tia mentors. Tia mentors work solely within the Hermanas mentorship program and take no part in our marketing side. Tia mentors can be editors, publishers, and/or agents who want to help aspiring writers.
