WriteMentor Writing Weekends

Our UK wide writing weekends (supported by Arts Council England) are due to begin in 2020. 

 We are bringing 4 workshops, 1-2-1s with agents/authors/editors, hours of free writing time and all-inclusive lunch, snacks and drinks from 9-5pm on Saturdays and Sundays.

You can sign up for 1 day or both. And we offer concessions for those eligible, and (interest free and up to 6 months) payment plans to help spread the cost. But be quick, several venues are already nearly sold out, and we limit numbers at each, ranging from 10-16.

WriteMentor SPARK ⚡️

Spark is our paid, ongoing mentoring service, where you are paired with one of our mentors, to work with them on a 1-2-1 basis.

Each month, you will work on an agreed numbers of words (we have several levels) and have an email consulation to discuss any issues.

Starting from £25 a month, it’s very affordable and we also offer, partial and full manuscript, developmental editing as part of our Quick Spark service if you’re in a hurry!

Two of our Spark mentees are now agented, and we offer great value for money, comparatively, so do enquire if you’re interested in ongoing support for your writing.
