Learn more about your mentor:
Preferred Genre or Sub-Genres: Fantasy, fiction, creative non-fiction As a mentor, I love working on: Cultural themes, lyrical prose or free verse poetry, stories that showcase wonder and first-time experiences, exploration of deep emotions, and bilingual stories. Areas of expertise/strengths as a mentor: Building and developing characters, creating a cohesive story structure to help a manuscript stand as a whole, finding the heart and emotion in a story, and exploring the best visuals and possible layers that could enhance the manuscript. Areas of weakness as a mentor (example: not great at querying help): Rhyming stories, humor, biographies that follow the character from childhood through adulthood, non-fiction, and stories about sports. I am not great at querying, but I can help with editing and making suggestions. |
