Mentor: Angel Martinez

Picture

About Angel

Angel Martinez has been writing for as long as she can remember. As a kid, she loved making books out of stapled sheets of bond paper, which ranged from retellings of her favorite fairy tales to narrations of mundane, day-to-day events. When she was five years old, she started her own blog which has since then evolved into LIFE DUMP, a creative space dedicated to documenting her personal growth through words and photographs.

Angel is currently a staff writer for Lithium Magazine and Reclamation Magazine. She is also a business student and mental health advocate. In the future, she hopes to pursue a career that serves as the intersection of these three facets of her life. But for now, when she’s not purging her emotions one personal essay at a time, she enjoys reading, watching 13 Going on 30, and having photoshoots in her bedroom.

Mentor Statement

I’m going to be a mentor for freelancing! Besides giving general tips on writing, networking, and life in general, I hope to discuss:
  1. My own creative/freelancing process
  2. How to consistently produce essays (and how my “everything can be content” principle helps me with that)
  3. How to make work that gets published and look for publications to cater to your work
I’m looking for a mentee who is not afraid to put their work out there! At the end of this mentorship process, I hope to help you get published on the platform of your choice or at the very least, give you the extra boost of confidence you need to follow through with your goal. I want someone who’s not afraid to ask lots of questions and grow from the answers that I can give! (Plus points if you’re into K-Pop) (I’m joking) (I think)
I can definitely give you feedback on your work, as well as provide a list of my personal resources. But I can’t edit your work directly, or promise you a position anywhere.
