SO thrilled to be a WriteHive mentor for another year! Yes, you're counting right - I'm a part of 2 mentorship programs this year! Double the fun, y'all!
My MSWL is, as ever, very loose. This is so that you don't self-reject, and so that you don't pigeon-hole yourself into not applying. Just do it!
