Southern Write is the SA Writers Centre newsletter/magazine. You can add additional blocks upon completion of initial blocks if you and your mentor agree that this would be beneficial for your work. Mentorships are offered in five hour blocks. The mentor and mentee will develop a shared timetable and plan, including identified goals, and will keep a weekly record that tracks progress towards goals and time spent by the mentor.Īny questions or difficulties will be resolved by the SA Writers Centre. Note this means that if you send four emails to your mentor, that will equate to one hour of mentorship time. This includes all contact with the mentee including phone/Skype/IM conversations, emails, reading and feedback time and face to face meetings.

Mentorship hours are billed for actual time spent, in 15 minute (minimum) increments. Mentorship fees must be paid in advance in full to the Centre.

SA Writers Centre will connect you with a mentor with four weeks of application. You will also need to identify at least one (maximum of three) goals for your mentorship and agree to the full terms and conditions.
