Writing Mentorships
One-to-one creative writing sessions for young writers in Melbourne & Online .
Tailored one-on-one support for writers ready to grow at their own pace.
Our writing mentorships offer dedicated time with an experienced writer and mentor who'll work with you (or your child) to develop skills, explore ideas, and build confidence on the page. Whether you're working on a novel, preparing for exams, or simply want to rediscover the joy of creative writing, we'll tailor each session to meet you exactly where you are.

Our Approach
Yes, we can help with scholarship exam prep, school assignments, persuasive/essay writing, NAPLAN, and technical writing skills like spelling, punctuation, and grammar. But here's what makes our mentorships different: our focus and our speciality is creative writing, and making it fun.
Why? Because when you enjoy something, you want to do it. And when you want to do it, you get better at it. It's that simple.
We don't grade stories. We don't follow a set curriculum. We’ll adapt our lesson plans to match what lights you up in this moment. Our mentorships are writer-led and story-led - we meet you where you are, listen to your ideas, read your drafts, and help you write more confidently and clearly.
Every writer thinks differently, works at their own pace, and has their own creative process. We've been doing this for over a decade, working with all kinds of writers including those with special learning needs, and we adapt our approach to suit each individual. For us, it’s about finding what works for you.
