‘I will miss our sessions in the British Library and I hope to work with Gold Dust again on my next book.I cannot recommend this programme highly enough.’ – Felix Bechtolsheimer, shortlisted for Tony Lothian award, mentored by Sally Cline
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.
‘Rather like a fast-track MA in Creative Writing only better.’ – Lesley Gray, author of The King’s Jockey, mentored by Jill Dawson.
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.
