'On Louise Doughty – words simply fail me. She is the most wonderful mentor I could ever have hoped to have.' – Stephanie Scott, whose novel The Sentence is about to be published. Mentored by Louise Doughty
We will discuss your requirements, which of our writer-mentors might be most suitable for you, and then if we feel you would be right for our programme, we will invite you to apply by emailing us a small sample – of around five thousand words – of your work in progress. If one of the three mentors we approach on your behalf feels your work has potential you will be offered a place with that mentor. We believe that a mentor who loves your project and chooses to work with you is the best possible start for the mentoring.
‘Over the past couple of years, Louise has made our work together feel like a collaboration, an exploration, and a glorious journey in a resolute and unremitting search for honest and good writing.’ – Charlotte Macleod, playwright, mentored by Louise Doughty
Please note that not everyone is successful and we reserve the right to say no to applications that we do not feel meet our selection criteria.
