February Update

Register now for the Prepping Your Pitch workshop!

We have a spot for you in this one of a kind workshop led by VMI mentor Mark Winston. Mark has developed a structure for helping you craft your book proposal with feedback from a mentor, peer to peer mentoring, and expert advice from Cooke McDermid literary agent Rachel Letofsky and Book*Hug Press publisher Jay MillAr. The workshop begins Feb 9 and runs over an eight week span. Check here for details.

SIx-Month Intensive Change!

You spoke, we listened. VMI is adapting the flagship mentoring program of the Six-Month Intensive to better suit your needs.

We now welcome applications year round and will pair you with a mentor to work when you are ready, not just beginning in January! We made the decision to offer the 25 mentoring hours at any time in the year to be completed within six months of your start date. Now you may apply to work in this concentrated intensive when you and your work-in-progress (and your funding!) are ready.

We look forward to writing with you!
