Las Madrinas branch aims to provide mentorship opportunities to debut Musas and Hermanas (unpublished writers in the wider community). 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.
Madrinas are established Latinx kidlit authors who will provide advice, critique, camaraderie, and more to debut Musas and/or an unpublished writers or Hermanas. Musa mentors are current debut Musas who will provide mentorship to Hermanas exclusively.
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.
In 2020, we were excited to be joined by Mara Delgado, who is part of our trial run of Tia mentors. Tia mentors work solely within the Hermanas mentorship program. Tia mentors can be editors, publishers, and/or agents who want to help aspiring writers.
Stay tuned for the addition of more authors as we grow Las Madrinas Musas.
