Kidlit Novel in Verse 6-Month Workshop Group Mentorship Program ($1220)

LIMITED AVAILABILITY, max 5 participants per workshop

REGISTRATION IS CURRENTLY OPEN FOR JAN-JUNE 2024 COHORT

Writing, editing and querying (especially querying) can be lonely and overwhelming—so let’s do it together! Join a workshop mentorship group where you can get feedback on your work, monthly check-in meetings, and accountability through emails and discord. I’ll also share insights from my experiences in the kidlit industry, answer questions about craft and industry, and do whatever I can to help support you as a writer! No application necessary.

As a part of the program, you will receive:

·      Feedback on six packets (up to 30 double spaced pages) from Meg and peer group

·      Monthly online group meeting (approx. 30 minutes) to discuss feedback, ask questions, and discuss craft and industry topics

·      Access to a discord group with your fellow cohort mentees, as well as mentees from other mentorship cohorts – throughout the program and beyond!

This program is a great fit for you if:

·      you write middle grade or young adult novels in verse

·      you’ve completed at least one manuscript (of a novel or novel in verse)

·      you’ve been receiving positive feedback on your work from a critique group or queries

·      you’re open to hearing feedback on your work and have an eagerness to grow as a writer

·      you have a serious interest in writing kidlit and want to take your work to the next level

·      you are getting ready to query, or have been querying but not getting the response you hope and would like to make your submission shine

Monthly Sample Schedule:

·      First Monday of the month, 6pm EST: online zoom meeting

·      15th of the month: deadline to submit materials to group

·      Last Monday of the month: written critiques due

The monthly schedule will be finalized by the group in the first meeting. Meeting times will be in EST. Meg’s availability is largely weekday afternoons and evenings. There will be a final wrap-up call with the group after the 6th month of the program.

As a part of the program, you agree to:

·      Submit work that has been wholly and solely written by you

·      Send pages to group by agreed upon deadline (unfortunately, no late submissions will be accepted)

·      Provide feedback to group members by agreed upon deadline

·      Attend and actively participate in group sessions

·      Treat all group and discord members with respect and kindness

·      Communicate with Meg immediately if an emergency extension is required for providing group member feedback
