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.
Deadline check (2026-11-03): The official mentorship page still documents the 2026 cohort. Its 2026 FAQ confirms the historical March 1, 2026 deadline at 11:59 p.m. PST and June 15–July 27 program dates. No 2027 application deadline or program dates were found on those pages; the 2026 dates must not be treated as the next application cycle.
