The NZSAs Mentor and Youth Mentor Programmes are both now open for applications.
Mentor Programme 2012 – Now Open
The NZSA’s Mentor Programme is calling for applications! This highly successful programme is available only to members of the NZSA and offers new authors the opportunity to spend 20 hours working alongside some of New Zealand’s best-known authors.
Previous NZSA surveys indicate that the majority of mentees achieve the goals they set at the beginning of their mentorship, whether it was completing a first draft or having work accepted for publication. If you are serious about your writing career, need feedback and coaching, this programme is for you.
Application forms can be downloaded from our website: www.authors.org.nz
Alternatively, contact the NZSA national office at programmes@nzauthors.org.nz or send a SAE to
