We’ll answer questions at the end

28:39
Do you have to be part of the Nevada chapter?

32:23
It’s for anyone who wants to participate. You don’t need to be in NV

32:33
Thank you Suzy and thank you everyone for this opportunity.

33:10
You must have a finished manuscript

33:30
Finished but not critiqued?

35:40
Your mentor should not be the second one to read your manuscript… they need to have been worked on and you’re stuck…

37:21
Hello. I’m in California. Does anyone edit children’s novels?

37:32
Jenny, the last we heard of you was how NF gets a bad rap and is not boring

37:37
I’m in Lake Tahoe!

38:05
I’m in SF - its been like living in a sci-fi novel today

38:07
Portland Oregon here

For everyone who couldn't hear me, I'm sorry! I am looking for 3 main things in mentees: Enthusiasm for your story, willingness to dive into learning storytelling practices, and a desire to grow as a writer and build your "toolkit," since above all I want to help you become a lifelong writer. I love building relationships (friendships!) with my mentees, and their characters tend to become my extended family. I hope this helps explain more about me! :)

42:07
Sounds wonderful, Jenny!

44:47
I am hefre

45:18
Hi, Sheryl! If you want to say what you are thinking about workshopping, feel free to write it!

45:19
I didn’t hear any of the mentors speak about PB?

46:24
Sheryl does picture books some non fiction. no dead animals yet author illustrator. I have several that are somewhere in the revision process. ! ready for submission 2 close some are a hot mess.

49:52
I agree with Patricia. I did not hear anything about picture books.

51:44
Oops… meant this for “all”: How many mentees are accepted into the program?

52:08
I write a range of picture books from funny to dealing with social issues such as food insecurity and global warming. I am totally ready to work and revise!!!

53:52
About picture books…. Most of the mentors haven’t published in that space, but that doesn’t mean we don’t understand it. We do. I can help with PBs if that’s your space. My first novel published because I submitted a PB to a Simon & Schuster editor, who didn’t do PBs, but loved the writing.

54:22
The program is about learning what’s important in whatever space you’re writing.

55:34
I have a NF pb I’ve just begun but never having written NF, I was wondering if mentor might guide story devt/research suggestions — but this means I don’t hv completed manuscript. Does that mean it’s not eligible?

57:07
@Patricia Frans You need a completed manuscript to participate in the program.

57:12
For Patricia… I’ve done NF books, but Jenny is probably your go-to.

57:31
What if we can not meet in person? Can we do this through zoom. I am part of the southern Breeze reagion but right now I am in Panama.

57:42
PS: I published 20 NF books for young readers before moving into fiction, so it works both ways.

58:35
My non fiction cross over from picture books to young readers.

58:35
I can absolutely help with research and development, for nonfiction of any kind!

59:14
@Jenny, do you accept like a proposal for your NF mentees?

01:00:28
For picture books, can we work on more than one?

01:00:28
Looking at the website, I don’t see deadlines for applying for the 2021 mentorship. Has that been decided yet?

01:01:11
Honestly,I'm afraid to fly yet

01:01:25
Me too

01:01:46
I'm with you BJ. It's all new these days

01:02:02
We won’t meet in person until it’s safe.

01:03:57
Nicey nice does not help mean is ok. lol

01:04:43
thanks for addressing that

01:05:43
Very good advice.

01:05:52
I have a question about beta reader vs. mentorship

01:06:06
Very insightful discussions

01:13:45
How many mentees does each mentor accept?

01:14:18
Silvia it's usually between 2 and three but depends on the year.

01:17:59
