- Adroit Journal's Summer Mentorship Program:
Now in its seventh year, The Adroit Journal’s Summer Mentorship Program is an entirely free and online program that pairs experienced writers with high school and secondary students (students in grades 9-12) interested in learning more about the creative writing processes of drafting, redrafting and editing. The 2019 program will cater to the literary genres of poetry, fiction, and nonfiction. The aim of the mentorship program is not formalized instruction, but rather an individualized, flexible, and often informal correspondence. Poetry mentorship students will share weekly work with mentors and peers, while prose mentorship students will share biweekly work with mentors and peers.
The 2019 Adroit Journal Summer Mentorship Program will last from June 23rd until August 3rd. Applications for the 2019 Adroit Journal Summer Mentorship Program will be open until April 15th.
