Mentoring style: I’ll provide feedback on a query package or the first 20k of a manuscript, plus a discussion over Skype or by email (as they prefer).

Mentee style: I’m happy to work with people at any stage of their writing career, but preferably someone who knows YA well as a genre and has a clear vision of what they want to accomplish.

What kind of novel would you like to work on? I’m looking for contemporary, contemporary fantasy (ie, realistic setting with fantastical elements) or speculative YA fiction, with bonus points any of the following: LGBTQ+ characters, complicated friendships or sibling relationships, bilingualism or foreign language learning, strange global phenomena, political storylines, conspiracy theories, a good twist! I’m not looking for high fantasy.

Favourite novels:
‘More Than This’, ‘His Dark Materials’, ‘Troublemakers’, ‘History is All You Left Me’, ‘Teeth’, ‘The Age of Miracles’, ‘American Street’, ‘Lorali’, ‘We Are the Ants’, ‘The Boy in the Tower’, ‘The Hate U Give’
