The QWF has paired up with the Quebec Anglophone Heritage Network to offer a new non-fiction mentorship program. The jury has selected the following participants from the applications we received:
Adam Leith Gollner will be mentoring Nisha Coleman and Myra Shuster;
Elaine Kalman Naves will be mentoring Jessica Gosman and Lys Stevens;
Joel Yanofsky will be mentoring Elisabeth Dent and Eve Krakow.
The 'mentees' will develop their craft by writing and polishing two pieces under the guidance of their mentor, and will have the opportunity to see their works published in Quebec Heritage News magazine between September 2012 and March 31, 2013.
