This day is all about YOU – mentees and mentors. You’ve been together for a few months now: long enough to have experienced some ups and a few downs in your mentoring relationship as well as your writing. Far from a conventional “parent-teacher conference” this is a chance for pairs to review their work together; our goal in analyzing your portfolio and your relationship is not to figure out how Girls Write Now can help you succeed in fulfilling your goals as a writer.
