I entered into the Book links mentorship for my junior fiction work in progress. The Book Magician is my first junior fiction I've ever written. If I get the opportunity to win one of the mentorship, if not I'm lucky to have had my work read and mentored by Kristy Bushnell.
The mentorship will provide the winner with the opportunity to develop their draft manuscript to a publishable standard with a professional mentor. Applications are assessed on literary and artistic merit and developmental potential.
- The mentorship is valued at $1500
- The mentor is Kristy Bushnell
Our Vice-Patron Jackie French has offered a free mentorship of three one-hour sessions, by phone, at times to be agreed.
Author Dave Lowe will offer a 60-min session (either face-to-face or over Zoom) to all the JF / MG shortlisted books (not including the winner, if a JF/MG wins). This will be limited to the first three chapters / 4,000 words of the manuscript.
