Writers! An opportunity to be mentored by a publisher
The NZSA / Hachette Mentorship Program opens today
The New Zealand Society of Authors (PEN NZ Inc), in association with Hachette Australia and New Zealand, are once again
offering the opportunity for one writer to work on a new draft of their completed manuscript under the joint mentorship
of Hachette Australia and New Zealand.
Now in its third year, this initiative is for writers of fiction, non-fiction or young adult fiction who have progressed
a manuscript beyond first draft, but require the objective view of an experienced publisher to provide constructive
critiquing for that manuscript.
The mentorship will be personalised for the selected candidate, and will run through 2018.
The selected manuscript may be considered by Hachette for publication within 6 months of delivery of a new draft of the
manuscript, but publication is not guaranteed.
This program is proudly presented by Hachette Australia and New Zealand in partnership with The New Zealand Society of
Authors (PEN NZ Inc.)
Open for applications from 9 October until midnight 4 November.
