Whether you want to write successful short
stories, novellas or novels it can be a hard business and
having reliable advice and feedback is
essential to develop as a fully rounded and compelling writer. Everyone is
different so it is essential to find support that is right for you.
Here at Poetry Kit we have been offering guidance, support and
helping poets to recognise their potential for over 25 years. And
Jim Bennett who runs the writers mentoring programme has been doing that
personally for over forty years and has guided the careers of
creative writers from novices to internationally known names.
This is an opportunity to be guided by one of the finest tutors of
creative writing. To lean more than you thought possible, to understand
the fundamental craft of writing in a way you might never have
discovered for yourself, and to see how you can realise your
potential. Our programme is very fluid and although there a many prepared sessions, we may use all or none of them, this is an open form of mentoring for you as a writer and it is you and your individual needs that are the most important part of this process. We are here to encourage and engage with the you in a way that will bring you confidence and help you to recognise what you are capable of and show you the path to your own own personal success. |

Duration - The Mentoring Sessions can be completed in 4 months but it can take longer depending on the speed of the responses from the participant. The programme ends when all units are completed or the maximum time of ten months has elapsed. This is to ensure that everyone gets as much as possible from the programme.
Writers Mentoring Programme – This is one to one mentoring. In each session there are challenges, exercises or projects to complete. Ideas are discussed and foundations for poems developed with assistance and feedback, working through drafts to completed poems. This is a mentoring experience that will work with strengths and identify weaknesses in writing style, all content chosen to meet the needs of the poet. The mentoring is over a period of 10 sessions, at the end of that you should have portfolio of poems which are complete and further poems in draft which are being worked through. The purpose of this programme is to offer individual mentoring and the time taken will depend on the speed of the student.
