You’ll enter payment info after the survey.
All mentorships begin with an initial Consult with your mentor. Prior to this meeting, you will be asked to submit up to 5000 words, or 10 poems, which you will discuss together. The purpose of the consult is to establish rapport and the ways in which an ongoing mentorship could be of most benefit to you and your project. Additional 5 hour blocks ($460) or 10 hour blocks ($900) of mentorship can be added at any time, pending mentor availability.

Please call Queensland Writers Centre on (07) 3842 9922 if you would like to discuss mentorship packages or pay for your mentorship over the phone. Payment plans are available for Queensland Writers Centre members. Funding grants may also be available to support your mentorship costs.
