About this Course

While being selected by a mentor is exciting, it isn't a prerequisite for publishing success and there are many things you can do to take your manuscript to the next level.

Join author and coach Natalie Lockett for a deep dive into her mentorship strategies, including an exploration of craft and publishing through exercises, lectures, and open Q&A. Writers will leave with new skills and knowledge to help them look at not only their book, but their writing career like a mentor would.
