Hello, friends!
I am going to jump right in today because I have some HUGE news for you!!!
As many of you know, I have been the co-founder and co-director of the PB Rising Stars Mentorship for the last 5 years. It was a seriously incredible experience and one that will stay with me for my entire life. It was truly a gift and I am already missing the experience now that we have officially closed the book on that chapter and the mentorship program as we know it has come to an end.
That said... I am feeling a deep desire to jump into book promo/spend time reading with kids AND wanting to have another mentorship experience. That is why I decided to host the BIGGEST giveaway I have EVER hosted in celebration of the launch of Super Villains in Training Book 3!
Yep! You saw that right! I am giving away an ENTIRE YEAR of mentorship with me!!
Note: You must be 18 years of age or older to enter!
The winner will have the choice of 2 prizes:
12 Month Writing Mentorship (for kidlit authors):
One, 1-hour zoom session per month for 12 months
One written critique per month (full PB, or agreed upon pages for CB or MG) for 12 months
Email communications throughout the year
Additional calls as needed
Business strategy sessions
Query guidance
And more! (customized experience)
Writer in Residence Program (for teachers):
One zoom session per month with your classroom according to your needs
Writing lessons and feedback with students throughout the year

And more! (customized experience)

Giveaway FAQs
- Does it matter when I enter the Giveaway?
No! All entries will count the same, no matter if you enter on the first day of the giveaway or the last day! The giveaway runs now through Sunday, November 8th! Make sure to enter before it closes, but it doesn't matter if you enter early or late in the giveaway period.
- Is there a limit to how many books I can buy/donate for the bonus entries?
No! There is no limit to how many books you can buy or donate.
- Can I log additional entries after my initial entry? I decided that I DO want to (buy another book / leave a review / donate a copy / etc).
Yes, you can log additional entries! The form allows multiple responses, so feel free to fill it out again to log your extra entries. We will double check repeat names, but we will give you all additional entries.
- Will you be counting up all of the entries? How can I guarantee that my bonus entries are counted?
I pay my niece (who is in college) to do some work for me and this will be one of her jobs. She is logging entries as they come in and then I put a second set of eyes to verify that we don't miss anyone!
- Are there any restrictions on who can enter?
Only one: You must be 18 years of age or older. But since this isn't a traditional mentorship, anyone of age can enter who feels the need for mentorship. Unagented or agented entrants are welcome. I know that I could still use mentorship when I was newly agented for sure!! Anyone who feels like they could benefit from working with me can enter. You do not have to be within the United States, we can work out time zone differences.
