CREATIVE MENTORSHIPS
A creative mentorship is an individualized, one-on-one working relationship. Together we build a plan for monthly exchanges of both critical and creative work based on your goals and desires. As your guide, I offer personalized reading suggestions, in-depth discussions, and detailed feedback. This is a good option for sharpening craft, building a body of work, and learning about literary publishing. The initial commitment is for three months, with the possibility of continuing.

Testimonials
“What has made the Creative Mentorship so meaningful to me is the time and attention Laura provides when reviewing my work, the gentle way in which she delivers constructive feedback, and her thoughtful recommendations on reading assignments, which she tailors to my individual learning needs. Because of her, I feel I have grown considerably as a reader of poetry, and as a writer generally; I am more confident with self-editing. While I have had several works accepted for publication after working with Laura, it’s been the shared camaraderie and learning that I have valued most.”

“Laura’s Creative Mentorship spurred me to the next level in my journey, and her thoughtful treatment of even the roughest draft has been invaluable. In our monthly conversations, she guided me to make and meet achievable writing goals and provided a targeted reading list, so I could discover craft examples to study and emulate. Laura met me where I was, celebrating and challenging me at each turn. With her direction and encouragement, my writing evolved and my forward trajectory continues.”
