Fall 2025 Session: September - December 2025

WHERE: ONLINE
WHEN: Students meet with their own mentors on their own schedules. Group meeting dates happen on different days of the week, weekend afternoons and evenings as well as weeknights to accommodate a variety of schedules and time zones. All workshops are recorded if students are unable to attend any given session. Schedule will be released about a month before the program begins.

You will have four virtual group meetings that take place on either weeknights or weekends. The schedule will be available closer to our start date and is dependent on our mentors’ availability. All meetings are recorded. Your one-on-ones are scheduled directly with your mentor.

Our mentorship faculty members team up for this unique online program designed for picture book, middle grade, and young adult authors. With award-winning authors, editors, professors and former professors from Hamline University and Vermont College of Fine Arts, students receive one-on-one guidance and stewardship. For authors contemplating an MFA program, this is a wonderful opportunity to grow your skills without the steep price tag. For authors who have an MFA or never considered one, this is your opportunity to get pages read and critiqued by master instructors.
