      Hi everyone, I wanted to give a heads up about an opportunity for a 3-month free mentorship with a published author or illustrator. Application period is now open, and closes April 4th. There are 32 mentors to choose from, you can apply to as many as you want.

      I'm one of the mentors, and the reason I decided to join was to offer my time as a thank you to the KidLit community that has given me so much.

        Hi @MirkaH , so great to see you on the 2024 Mentor list! Thank you for your leadership and giving back to the community!

        I can’t wait to sign up! I’m a strong believer in mentoring. I’m actually a mentor at my job in engineering and construction.

            @Jeremy-Ross I think it's a great opportunity and you can apply to as many mentors as you want to. I've been following them for the three years, and there's some heartwarming success stories of books published and agents acquired. It's obviously not a guarantee, but who wouldn't want that opportunity for growth! Fingers crossed for you!

                          How often do they do this? Is it only once a year for the 3 month mentorship?

                            @MirkaH thank you! I honestly think I would wait on applying to said mentorship- I would want to give my full attention to it, and I think this time of my life is a tad too full. But I will keep it in my back pocket! ❤
