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.
