Mentorships

You can view the range of categories and genres covered by our mentorship program below, along with the pricing structure for our different mentorship types and lengths. Reading time must be included in all mentorships, so please take this into consideration when deciding the length of your mentorship.

Please note that we ask for upfront payment for all our mentorships. This is to ensure our mentors are paid promptly for their work. If this is difficult for you (especially in the case of a lengthy mentorship), please email programs@asauthors.org to discuss your payment options.

All creators are given the opportunity to nominate their preferred mentor(s) during the booking process. You can learn more about our mentors at our mentor register.

Depending on the type of mentorship you are booking, you will be asked to submit specific materials such as a synopsis, manuscript sample, or flatplan. The details of these required materials are provided in the booking forms.

Once you have submitted your booking, you should receive an automated email confirmation from asa@asauthors.org. Please check your spam/junk folder if you don’t receive this email after submitting your booking.

We will attend to your booking request within 2-3 business days. We will contact your preferred mentors (in order of preference) and notify you as soon as we have a mentor confirmed or more information available. You will receive email updates about your booking from programs@asauthors.org. Once a mentor and time frame is confirmed for your mentorship, your mentor will be in contact to get the mentorship underway.
