Meet our Mentees

What a response we had to our call for entries! You sent us a fantastic range of short stories, personal essays and novel openings. There was some memorable poetry in there, too. It was very difficult to choose just ten emerging writers from the close-to-200 submissions, but here are our mentees for 2021. If you haven’t been chosen this time, please don’t despair. You can learn from our masterclasses and we hope that you will try again next year! If you missed the application deadline and still want to benefit from Write Beyond Borders this year, keep up with our blog where every week one of the mentees will share what they’ve learnt from the masterclasses.
