Apply now to be mentored by an experienced writer / industry expert and grow your writing practice.
The NZ Society of Authors Mentor Programme is designed to give beginning or emerging writers who demonstrate potential and commitment the opportunity to work closely with an experienced writer as their mentor in order to hone their writing skills and, in the process, take a piece of work from the early stages to a polished manuscript with potential for publication.
Offering professional development, a safe space to discuss the craft of writing, intellectual community, role models, accountability and substantive feedback.
NZSA seek to reflect and expand the depth and breadth of our sector and welcome applications from diverse writers working across a range of genres and writing disciplines with two mentorships tagged to these emerging writers.
This programme is open to financial members of the NZSA. Mentors dedicate 25 hours of their time to a full mentorship and 12.5 hours to a half mentorship. Each mentorship spans a 7 – 8 month period which starts in April when the match is confirmed and ends by 1 December of that year. There are 13 mentorships available in 2024.
Applications are open until 1 Feb 2026.
