I'm seeking a writing mentor.
Would anyone with proper experience in writing and publishing fiction be willing to mentor me? I have been reading since 3 and writing since 7. I wrote 50 pages of my first novel at 14. My creativity and concentration have since been punished by the realities of my teenage years, and now, at 31, I would like earnestly to commit my time to developing my writing.

If there is such a person out there, I would very much like to speak to you. I would be happy to send you writing samples, as well.

Thank you.

1. For starters, why not post something here?
This Group abounds with experienced writers and thoughtful critics--a resource whose value can't be overstated.

3. For practice that is fine
but the best way to proceed about a mentoring prgram is WRITE, and find a critique group

The problem with posting ON A PUBLIC site is that the material is mostly considered published. That said... go for it, in the begining it is great for practice
