2022 SWHNM Mentorship Program: Call for Applications

In 2022, She Who Has No Master(s) is initiating a creative writing mentorship program led by and designed for Vietnamese and SE Asian diasporic women and nonbinary writers. The centering of this perspective is important because in most educational settings the focus on subject matter and perspectives of women/nonbinary SE Asian diasporic women is marginal, if not totally unaddressed. These offerings fulfill a dire need in our nation’s current environment for creative writing education. Mentorship is designed so that each student receives intensive one-on-one creative writing guidance from a mentor, one of our distinguished, award-winning writers from the She Who Has No Master(s) collective. If selected for a mentorship, you will receive 4 months of tuition-free mentorship, conducted remotely from May to August 2022. Our first cohort will engage 4 students and 4 mentors.
