As a writer,&nbsp;editor&nbsp;and mentor myself,&nbsp;I\u2019ve&nbsp;come to understand the&nbsp;important role&nbsp;that mentoring can play in supporting a writer\u2019s journey. But&nbsp;I\u2019ve&nbsp;also realised how it must be tailored to suit the writer\u2019s character and needs.&nbsp;It\u2019s&nbsp;definitely not&nbsp;a&nbsp;<em>one-size-fits-all<\/em>&nbsp;service.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Choosing&nbsp;the right&nbsp;mentor&nbsp;\u2013 and&nbsp;building a great working relationship with them&nbsp;\u2013 takes&nbsp;time and care.&nbsp;And&nbsp;I\u2019m&nbsp;purposely using&nbsp;the word \u2018relationship\u2019.&nbsp;In commissioning the service,&nbsp;you are&nbsp;making&nbsp;an investment in&nbsp;your&nbsp;mentor. And, of course,&nbsp;your&nbsp;mentor&nbsp;will&nbsp;invest their time and&nbsp;expertise. But for it to be a success, it also requires&nbsp;<em>commitment<\/em>&nbsp;from&nbsp;you both. In that sense,&nbsp;it\u2019s&nbsp;more than a transaction.&nbsp;It\u2019s&nbsp;a partnership.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With this characterisation in mind,&nbsp;there are three fundamental questions to ask of yourself&nbsp;as you&nbsp;anticipate, shape and&nbsp;engage in a <a href=\"https:\/\/jerichowriters.com\/creative-writing-courses\/novel-writing-mentors\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">mentoring<\/a> relationship.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. What are your ambitions as a writer?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A mentor can&nbsp;provide&nbsp;some insight into what I call the \u2018writing life\u2019.&nbsp;What are the realities of being a writer?&nbsp;Are your hopes realistic? What can you expect&nbsp;when&nbsp;you&nbsp;succeed\u2026 or&nbsp;don\u2019t?&nbsp;What&nbsp;can&nbsp;it&nbsp;<em>feel<\/em>&nbsp;like?&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may not have given much thought to such things,&nbsp;but these are all&nbsp;matters which&nbsp;can hinder or contribute to the more mechanical aspects of writing.&nbsp;You might&nbsp;want to secure an agent or a publishing agreement.&nbsp;You might want to share your&nbsp;life-story with friends and relations.&nbsp;You might&nbsp;want to&nbsp;be more productive, more&nbsp;efficient&nbsp;and&nbsp;less&nbsp;side-tracked&nbsp;by&nbsp;the distractions of life around you.&nbsp;You might want to earn a lot of money.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your mentor may challenge you to reflect on&nbsp;your expectations&nbsp;and&nbsp;support you&nbsp;as you define and refine your&nbsp;purpose&nbsp;and motivations&nbsp;as a writer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. What are your ambitions for your book and\/or your writing practice?&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is what I mean&nbsp;when I refer above to the \u2018mechanical aspects\u2019 of writing. Your mentor&nbsp;is&nbsp;a writer too.&nbsp;They\u2019ll&nbsp;have studied writing, practiced&nbsp;it&nbsp;and&nbsp;learned from it. Want to&nbsp;understand how&nbsp;<em>Show,&nbsp;Don\u2019t&nbsp;Tell<\/em>&nbsp;might work in your own writing? Your mentor&nbsp;can help you to&nbsp;identify&nbsp;opportunities to&nbsp;apply it. Unsure what narrative voice to use? You&nbsp;and your&nbsp;mentor can&nbsp;explore the pros and cons of&nbsp;different options.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps you\u2019ve&nbsp;one or more ideas for a book and have been struggling to know which project to&nbsp;pursue?&nbsp;One of my clients was&nbsp;torn between the urgency of a&nbsp;fictional&nbsp;idea&nbsp;that excited&nbsp;him, and the rugged practicality of&nbsp;writing about a&nbsp;subject area&nbsp;in which he was a&nbsp;world&nbsp;authority.&nbsp;Together, we&nbsp;found&nbsp;a&nbsp;way&nbsp;through&nbsp;his confusion.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or&nbsp;perhaps&nbsp;you\u2019re&nbsp;facing a blank page, not knowing what&nbsp;\u2013 or how \u2013 to write?&nbsp;You&nbsp;wouldn\u2019t&nbsp;be the first. Your mentor&nbsp;can help you&nbsp;explore and apply&nbsp;techniques&nbsp;that&nbsp;get you writing.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With&nbsp;the right mentor, you&nbsp;can unlock the means to pursue&nbsp;your&nbsp;writing&nbsp;projects&nbsp;and enjoy the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. What&nbsp;would&nbsp;you like to gain from a mentoring relationship?&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As you may have already begun to realise,&nbsp;the relationship with&nbsp;a&nbsp;mentor&nbsp;that I have described&nbsp;bears some similarity&nbsp;to that of a counsellor and a client. In such a framework, there are opportunities to share, explore and become aware of your insecurities, your frailties,&nbsp;your&nbsp;strengths&nbsp;and motivations.&nbsp;In doing so, there&nbsp;is the potential to&nbsp;grow and develop as a writer and to gain greater enjoyment and fulfilment from your writing practice.&nbsp;If&nbsp;that\u2019s&nbsp;an attractive model,&nbsp;the relationship with your mentor&nbsp;will&nbsp;work best when&nbsp;you&nbsp;are both&nbsp;honest, trusting&nbsp;and committed.&nbsp;Sometimes, you may not like what you&nbsp;hear, but with a reflective mindset, you&nbsp;may&nbsp;benefit&nbsp;from it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alternatively,&nbsp;you may have decided that&nbsp;you&nbsp;require&nbsp;support that is tailored around the mechanics of your writing practice.&nbsp;I have worked with clients who have sent me&nbsp;regular blocks of writing that&nbsp;can be discussed and developed.&nbsp;We may have come to know&nbsp;and like&nbsp;each other, but the&nbsp;focus has been on technique and productivity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And of course,&nbsp;you may&nbsp;want&nbsp;a relationship with someone who&nbsp;can&nbsp;share their&nbsp;knowledge of&nbsp;your preferred genre or market.&nbsp;Having specialised in all forms of non-fiction, I can&nbsp;offer an authoritative&nbsp;and informed&nbsp;perspective for writers in&nbsp;these&nbsp;areas.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As in life, there are&nbsp;few if any rules about what makes a good relationship.&nbsp;However, it can certainly help to be honest&nbsp;not only&nbsp;about&nbsp;what you want, but also what&nbsp;you&nbsp;are prepared to&nbsp;commit.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, when&nbsp;you\u2019re&nbsp;looking for the right mentor, ask for&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/jerichowriters.com\/creative-writing-courses\/novel-writing-mentors\/novel-mentoring-taster-sessions\/\">an initial, exploratory chat<\/a>. Any mentor worth the investment will be happy to&nbsp;talk with you&nbsp;about your needs,&nbsp;preferences&nbsp;and character.&nbsp;It will give you both the&nbsp;opportunity to&nbsp;determine&nbsp;whether&nbsp;you\u2019re&nbsp;right for each other.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And having challenged yourself with the questions above,&nbsp;you\u2019ll&nbsp;stand a&nbsp;much&nbsp;better chance of&nbsp;finding&nbsp;the <a href=\"https:\/\/jerichowriters.com\/creative-writing-courses\/novel-writing-mentors\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">mentor<\/a>&nbsp;that\u2019s&nbsp;meant&nbsp;for you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Work one-on-one with Paul Roberts or any of our expert writing mentors &amp; book coaches. Our mentoring service is like a choose-your-own-adventure for writers. Pick a package that fits your needs, and use your hours however you like.
