Writing mentorship

Mentorship with Bonny can work hour by hour, or project by project. It can include draft feedback, career discussion and a listening support for the uncertainties of creative practice. Mentorship consultation can take place virtually (video call and/or emailed feedback), or for those in Central Victoria and Melbourne a blend of virtual and in-person may be arranged.

If ad hoc hours sound like you, get in touch for a fee schedule and to share a bit about your needs.

Some people are happy with an open-ended journey while others have a specific outcome in mind. For those who prefer structure here are three mentorship plans that each offer an advance plan of fixed timeframe, expected outcomes and a discounted flat fee.

If the plan approach sounds right, get in touch for the fees with no obligation. If you’re comfortable to go ahead following an initial chat about your needs, the plan’s flat fee is to be paid upfront in full. Additional or ad-hoc hours can be negotiated at an hourly consultation rate on enquiry (not discounted). Refunds are not available.

  • Negotiate a mix of discussion meetings and short draft feedback. Intended for writers who need some structure and accountability to get new work rolling or to break a block.

    Choose either 5 or 10 hours of mentor input. Includes a free initial consultation to discuss your needs and an approach to the timeframe.

  • For a writer with an existing project who wants draft feedback at scale. This plan is focused on turning around incremental drafts or revisions.

    Choose either 5 or 10 hours of mentor input. Includes a free initial consultation to discuss your needs and an approach to the timeframe and word count. Suitable for 15k-30k word count projects.

  • This plan is for beginners or writers who have not had any or much external input on their creative work. The mentorship is focused on discussion of intentions, generative writing prompts and reflection on technique and method.
