1. What would you like the jury to know about you and your writing?
e.g. You might let us know what inspired you to submit this application, your history/experience as a writer and where you're at with your writing right now, what kind of books you love, what your goals are as a writer... or just what most excites you about writing. (Answer in as many or as few words as you like!)
*
2. If you're given the chance to work with a professional mentor, what writing goals might you have for your time with them?
e.g. Do you have a project in mind (if you do, please tell us a little more about that!)? Would you like help getting started with a writing practice? Would you like to work on different creative writing exercises together? Something else? It's also just fine to say you aren't sure yet! (Answer in as many or as few words as you like!)

3. If you're selected for a 2027 Youth Writing Mentorship with a professional author, will you be able to commit to completing the mentorship?
e.g. Will you be able to make time in your schedule to meet with your mentor for two hours a month between February and April?
*
Yes, I'll be able to find time to meet.
I don't know.
No, that sounds like more than I'll be able to fit in my schedule.
