2024 Mentors List
The SmoochPit Mentorship program connects unagented authors with agented authors. These selected mentors have volunteered their time to work with a potential mentee on their query letter, synopsis, and the first 50 pages of their manuscript. Mentors may go further if they wish.
In the profiles below, you can find each mentor's bio, MSWL (manuscript wishlist), mentoring style, and which age categories and subgenres they will consider. Their MSWL is a great way to find out more about each mentor and pick those you think are the best fit for your work. Please remember, you can only choose 3 mentors to submit your work to!
Here’s a list of all mentors for 2024. We include the age categories they will consider at the end of their name to make it easier for you to narrow down your choices. Once you're ready, please visit the Mentee Guidelines page to complete the application.
We know 39 mentor MSWLs is a lot to go through! We created a spreadsheet that breaks down which sub genres they'll consider without having to click into each profile. Hope this helps!
