PAL members are invited each fall to submit proposals for providing a six-month mentorship to one of our promising Associate or Full members. Year-to-year the focus of the mentorship changes — from illustration to writing of a specific category or genre. Proposals include your vision for the mentorship, as well as your requirements for a contest that we will administer and you will judge to select the lucky mentee.
What the PAL Mentor receives:
– Honorarium
– Contest publicity to include your name, headshot, bio, website links, and/or book sales links
Note: Mentors will write a minimum of two Kite Tales posts – one to announce details of your mentorship, including contest dates and instructions, and a second to recap your experience as a mentor and to publicize the following year’s program.
Accepting proposals for the 2021 mentorship starting 2-22-21. Deadline: 03-29-21.
