Mentorship in Creative Writing

Mentorships provide individualized support to advanced writers who seek specific and focused guidance in their work.

Students select a mentorship focus from a pre-determined list of options provided by the instructor as part of their application process.

Instructors review applications to determine student readiness for intensive personalized instruction and to ensure the student’s writing goals are achievable within the mentorship period.

Students and instructors develop a Mentorship Agreement to guide their interactions over six contact hours during the ten-week mentorship period.

By the end of the mentorship, students have received advice, input, and support to help them reach their short-term goals.
