Prospect is our six-week mentoring programme for writers with a work in progress. Across six one-to-one sessions, your mentor will help you strengthen your story concept, identify your biggest craft priorities, refine your writing process, and explore your publishing options early. You’ll finish with a personalised action plan to carry you through to a strong, completed manuscript.

Launchpad is our eight-week mentoring programme for writers with a complete, or nearly complete, manuscript who are preparing to query agents or self-publish. Alongside six sessions with your core mentor, you’ll have two sessions with industry experts matched to your publishing goals, such as a literary agent, publisher, or marketing specialist. You’ll come away with a clear verdict on your novel’s readiness, a precise understanding of where it fits in the market, and an action plan for the months ahead.

Boost is our eight-week mentoring programme for published authors – traditionally or independently published – who are ready to take their career to the next level. Your core mentor will draw on their own experience to guide you through your publishing career, your marketing and author brand, and the business side of authorship, complemented by two sessions with industry experts. You’ll leave with a clear, personalised strategy for the next phase of your author career.
