✨We are so thrilled to announce we are open to mentor applications!✨
Round Table Mentor is a program focused on development of craft and building connections throughout the writing community, for a writer's whole career, not just the beginning of it. 1/3

We started our AMA and all collectively realized this felt like a hard time to talk about books.
Taking into account feedback from a couple of prospective mentees, writer friends, and internally with each other, we're going to postpone. 1/2

Writing a novel is a communal process. Round Table mentors focus on the whole life of a manuscript and their mentee's development of skill and craft. Uniquely collaborative, supportive, and diverse, RTM seeks mentors who come to the table ready to help, not just lead.

However, know a spot in this program makes you no more or less worthy than those who didn't find one this year. 1/3

We’d scheduled it a few weeks ago and failed to adjust our plans in light of recent events. This was an oversight and we are deeply sorry for any hurt we’ve caused.
We're also considering shifting our app window, so if you, our community, have thoughts, please let us know.

It's the binding ethos of our program that no one is treated as more infallible, more talented, more anything than any other––and that includes our applicants.
Because of that, all applicants will gain access to the same resources, regardless of acceptance. 2/3

A little about RTM:
We prioritize applications for mentors and mentees of color, with a hard minimum of at least 50% People of Color making up each years' cohorts.
There is no head of program; everything is decided roundtable (yep) with each mentor weighing in. 2/3
