Curtis Brown Creative: Breakthrough Mentoring Programme for Disabled Writers 2023/2024
Four talented disabled writers will receive nine months of mentoring from a published author, plus a tutorial with a literary agent. Open to all disabled writers worldwide over the age of 18 who aren't currently represented by a literary agent.
This mentoring will run from November 2023 to August 2024 and seeks to support four aspiring authors through one-to-one guidance from a published author-mentor, plus a tutorial with a literary agent. Mentoring sessions will take place via Zoom/phone calls. We are able to make accessibility adjustments to the programme if required.
You can apply to be mentored for a project at any stage of writing (from just starting to redrafting) and written in any of the following genres/categories:
Novel written for adults
Novel written for children (older than 7) or young adults
Collection of short stories
Memoir
Narrative non-fiction
Mentors: Lisette Auton, Nydia Hetherington, Chloe Timms, Claire Wade
This nine-month mentoring programme is part of the Breakthrough Writers' Programme – our outreach initiative for under-represented authors.
