Mentoring Group to Start Up

October 13, 2021, 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm

A new WAG mentoring group is being formed for novice writers who are in the early stages of their writing careers. This is not a critique pod, although we may exchange writing feedback at times. The main focus will be both practical and emotional support.

The learning curve is steep, not just for writing craft, but for things like types of edits available, pros and cons of self-publishing, finding an agent, etc. It can be quite overwhelming. Also, we’ll provide support and guidance for issues such as maintaining motivation, what to do when you’re sure your words are garbage, etc.

We need a few experienced authors as well—those who would like to help “pass the torch” to the next generation of writers. Initially, we will meet monthly. The first meeting will be Wednesday, October 13, 2021, 7:30-9:00 p.m. on Zoom.

Have questions or want to sign up? Email Kass Lamb at mentoring@writersalliance.org with WAG Mentor Group in the subject line.

This group is limited to WAG members. If you are not a WAG member and wish to join, go to https://writersalliance.org/membership/.
