Make sure you’ve included your mentor’s reading time in your time estimate. As a general rule, 10,000 words will take three hours to read, 35,000 words will take eight hours, and 70,000 words+ will take sixteen hours. If your manuscript is over 100,000 words, get in touch to discuss the best options for you.
Our current list of mentors includes specialists in diverse areas from genre fiction, to journalism, to illustration and beyond. They’re all highly credentialled, with multiple publications and at least five years of professional mentoring experience.
