Mentoring is a bespoke service, designed to be flexible and fit with the different needs and writing stages of each author who contacts us. You could spend your mentoring hours with anything from face-to-face discussions about your ideas, to written feedback on sections of your writing, to a mixture of the two. You can find out more and apply here.

You’ll work directly with your mentor online, in the combination of video calls, email exchanges, and direct feedback on your work that works best for you.

We work with a team of award-winning authors and publishing industry professionals, each with decades of mentoring experience and a knack for turning good writers into great ones. They’ve been hand-picked for their expertise, quality, and—let’s be honest—because they’re awesome.

Meet them here.

In your application, you’ll be able to select a preferred mentor. We recommend looking at the genres that our mentors specialise in, and seeing if any of their profiles especially resonate with you. If you’re not sure, that’s no problem! You can select ‘No preferred mentor’, and our team will match you with our top choice for your project.

The cost depends on the mentor and how many hours you need. Here’s an overview:

Our Premium Members also receive 10% off all mentoring bookings.

If you’re unsure of how many hours you’ll need, we can discuss your specific needs upfront, including calls, editing, or feedback, and confirm pricing before moving forward. Get in touch with us directly and we’ll tailor a quote just for you.

We work with mentors who have experience across the full range of fiction and non-fiction genres—basically, if you can write it, we can mentor it!

You can be at any stage of your writing journey. Whether you’re just starting out with a fresh idea or you’ve already completed a manuscript, our mentoring service is here to support you and help you take the next step—wherever you are in the process.

Although our Mentoring Service is bespoke to you and your needs, generally, it’s worth noting that mentors typically won’t read an entire manuscript. This is because there might not be enough time for your mentor to read your entire manuscript and offer feedback/guidance. If you are interested in receiving a written editorial report on your entire manuscript, you might want to consider our Editorial Services such as a Manuscript Assessment or Developmental Edit.

We offer 20-minute Mentoring Taster Sessions for just £20. You can book a session with your chosen mentor to discover how our mentoring programme could help you develop your novel, enhance your skills, and achieve your writing goals.

If you have any further questions about mentoring, you can book a call with a member of the team here, or you can get in touch with the team at info@jerichowriters.com.
