Writing can be lonely, but it doesn’t need to be

Join our supportive community of writers

At WriteMentor, we don’t offer writers empty and unrealistic promises of publication. As a team of authors, we understand the hard realities of writing and publishing a book. So, we’ve created a community.

From our collective years of experience, we believe surrounding yourself with like-minded writers is the best way to sustain a happy and healthy writing career. Our community is made up of hundreds of writers who love sharing first-hand knowledge, advice, and insights while offering support through the highs and lows of publishing.

Based on our ethos of inclusivity, accessibility, and affordability, we welcome writers of both children’s and adult fiction, at any stage of their publishing journey, from all four corners of the world.
