The Adroit Journal Summer Mentorship Program

The Adroit Journal’s Summer Mentorship Program is an online program pairing established writers with high school and gap year students interested in creative writing. It focuses on drafting, redrafting, and editing in poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction through individualized, flexible, and informal correspondence. Poetry students share weekly work, while fiction and creative nonfiction students share biweekly work.

The application has four parts: three Application Essays, a Writing Sample, an Optional Academic Transcript, and an Optional Additional Information Section. Applicants can apply to multiple genres by submitting two writing samples.
