What is this all about?
We have 20 established authors and other publishing pros who've generously donated their time and expertise to host 15-minute, one-on-one mentoring sessions with aspiring authors.
What do I do in my session?
If you're signing up for an acquiring editor or publisher, you are welcome to pitch your completed book!
If you are meeting with an established author, the door is pretty wide open. You can ask about craft. If you're struggling with something specific, you can ask them about it. We have a number of indie authors, so if you're interested in self-publishing, you can pick their brains. Think about what you want to get out of this dedicated one-on-one session and choose your mentor accordingly.
In the questions on the next page, you will be asked for your top 5 choices for mentors. Be sure your first choice is first and so on. It is not mandatory to choose 5, but you're more likely to get someone you want if you do.
Apprentices will be assigned in the order of their submission of this form. If, by some bad luck, none of your choices are available, we'll send you an email to figure something out with you.
Once your slot is claimed, you'll receive an email from the Multiverse WRITE track giving you all the details you need to make your slot.
Further info will be forthcoming in your mentor confirmation email! :)
