Application to Gold Dust is simple and you will know within weeks or even days whether you have been successful. We are a small selective scheme and whether you are awarded a place will one of our top mentors will be based on the quality and promise of the work in progress you submit to us.

‘Shelley’s mentoring has enabled me to build my confidence as a writer. I now feel competent to tackle that magical final draft, though I’ll really miss our sessions.’
– Mya Roberts, mentored by Shelley Weiner.

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.

‘I would recommend the Gold Dust mentoring scheme to any first time novelist and am grateful to you for giving the opportunity of working with such a great writer and teacher.’
– Sally-Anne Lomas, mentored by Jane Rogers
