WRITING CAN BE LONELY, BUT IT DOESN'T NEED TO BE

Thanks to our diverse community of published authors, industry experts, and aspiring writers, WriteMentor empowers children's writers from all backgrounds and at any stage of their writing career to achieve their publishing goals. Through formal and peer-to-peer mentoring as well as affordable, accessible and high-quality programmes, we're busting the myth of the isolated writer by creating a friendly and supportive community of storytellers. We'd love you to come and join us.
