We are thrilled to announce the Mentorship Fellows & Finalists for our 2020 Mentorship Lab!
Starting in August, we'll be welcoming these nine emerging writers to our second Mentorship Lab, which includes multi-genre master classes, intimate writing workshops, a $1000 stipend, and individual mentorship meetings. This year's Fellows will be learning alongside Hala Alyan, our Poetry Mentor; Gina Apostol, our Fiction Mentor; Ching-In Chen, our Poetry/Cross-Genre Mentor; and Mayukh Sen, our Creative Nonfiction Mentor! The Mentorship Lab will run from July 2020–December 2020 and close with a culminating reading. We're looking forward to sharing this space of creation, collaboration, and community with everyone involved.
