Mentoring Sessions with Our Experts

 

Have you ever wished you could sit down with an expert—a mentor—for a half hour? Someone who has taken the time to look over your work carefully and who is willing to go over things like your hopes … your next career moves … what works and what doesn't within your work?

Now you can. FCWC offers you a list of mentors to choose from—one (or more) perfect for you and your genre(s). 

Look over the list below. Once you choose your ideal mentor(s), email Jean Wilund at [email protected]. Jean will connect you with your mentor(s).  DO NOT REACH OUT TO THE MENTORS YOURSELF.

*Mentoring sessions cost an additional $45 paid directly to the expert/mentor.
*Before the conference begins, we will set aside a half-hour for you with your mentor(s).
*Thursday afternoon (during the sign-up session, 4:00 – 5:00) go directly to the sheets of your mentor(s) to find out when your appointment is so that you do not double-book your time with them and with your free 15-minute appointments.
