“Grant has all the important traits of a great mentor. He helped in the setting of goals, he was able to find the right kind of reading assignments to fit our styles and subjects as writers, and he offered very specific and valuable feedback. The direct instruction was challenging and has helped me along in my initial writing process. The feedback for my packets was specific and genuine.”

“Scott was a great mentor… His insight into the mechanics of stories and human psychology, and his willingness to engage with my stories beyond their imperfections, to see the things I was trying to talk about and advise me on them increased my confidence as a writer and hopefully my skills too… As far as I’m concerned, I couldn’t have asked for a better mentor.”
