RM is another manuscript mentoring project, this one started by a mentor who learned she was not selected by AMM (Author Mentor Match) to be a mentor. You can read about the genesis on the program's website. Here's what prospective mentees (those with a manuscript you want professional feedback on) need to know.
Manuscripts for MG through Adult are eligible. Previously published works will NOT be considered for mentorship.
So be sure to check / read each mentor's Wishlist (Quick Wishlists) carefully, as that's where the mentor spells out what they're willing to do for the mentee. I really like this feature.
In AMM and other MS mentoring contests, mentors often will post wishlists, but they're just that -- wishlists of the types of manuscripts they'd like to see in their inboxes. They're not terribly specific on the type of feedback they're willing to offer -- from being a writing accountability person, to evaluating an outline, or brainstorming ideas. Writing is a process, and mentors are willing to help at different stages and with different skills.
As always, before applying, do your mentor research!
I've never done this one before, so I'd really LOVE to hear from you, if you do (or you have -- this is not their first round, it's just the first time it's come to my attention). Drop a comment here and I'll get back with you, or cheer on your MS!
Almost done…
