Here’s an idea I’ve had rattling around in my head for a while now. A storytelling mentorship group.
Because I can’t possibly mentor everyone that asks me to look at their blog, this will have to be a limited membership, so please think hard if you’d like to join in, because there will be a commitment to be made.
Also, you’ll need to be absolutely certain you want to hear constructive advice because it can come as a bit of a shock sometimes.
Know this, however - I will never be mean or nasty with the advice. That’s certainly not my way. And I will also discourage anyone else that is deliberately mean or poking fun at another’s writing.
I hope everyone will join in on every aspect of the mentoring group – that means giving views and opinions on the other members of the group’s writing too.
I’ve been honing my writing skills professionally for around 20 years now and have a bit of experience before then too.
If you think you can commit to a regular contribution (once a week?), follow the guidelines of the group regarding tags, give a consistent input (take part in the writing project) and give opinions and advice to others, please say so in the comments below.
Also, let me know if you would like your contribution to be part of a longer piece (for example, a short story or even a novel) so I can take that into account.
Of course, if no-one is interested, that’s fine, but I cannot give advice or critique on posts outside this group.
Limited space – let me know if you’re interested.
English posts only – sorry, I don’t believe I could give good advice from a translated work.
At least 500 words in each post (that’s why I’m giving you a week between each project) and no more than 1000 words.
Interested?
Let me know.
