The purpose of this guild is to connect new or fledgling poets -- and critics -- with mentors to sharpen their craft and skills.

Mentors are asked to demonstrate proficiency in poetry or critiquing or both, and to devote time to their protégés.

Protégés need only ask, but are asked to be understanding if a mentor is not immediately found.

Please PM Poetess Laureate to state whether your intention is to be a mentor or protégé, and whether your interest is writing, critiquing, or both.

It should be noted that either side of the mentor relationship may terminate it at any time. Play nicely.

Note: We also accept writing in Spanish and French.
