"The mentorship was paramount. As a young writer, I had no idea of my skill level or my taste or what it took, logistically, to get things polished and out into the world. All of my mentors offered sage, personal advice and no-holds-barred critique throughout the years; even now, if I need any of them, they're available to calm nerves or excite them as needed."
