Mentor: Madison Siwak

Picture

About Madison

Madison Siwak is a senior at Wayne State University, where she is majoring in Global Studies & Italian. When not stressing about homework, she can be found writing strange stories and dreaming of imaginary places. Her historical fantasy novel As the Crow Flies was a recipient of a 2019 Watty Award. She has also been published in two anthologies, hosts a blog for creative minds on madisonsiwak.com, and is the admin for The Great Writers Club on Instagram. Madison is currently working on her ninth fantasy novel.

Mentor Statement

Fantasy is all about the extraordinary, so I would love to work with someone who has an unique imagination and brings fresh ideas to the table. A perfect mentee would be someone who is dedicated and passionate, but also willing to have fun with writing. 
My areas of expertise include many subgenres, including historical, adventure, romance,  LGBT+, and steampunk. I will also help you with broader topics, such as plot, characters, worldbuilding, structure, etc...  I’m more than happy to assist with developmental editing, but fair warning, I am not a professional editor. In addition to mentoring with writing, I can also discuss success on Wattpad and building a presence on social media.
If you need a jack-of-all-trades mentor, I’m your girl.
