Finding a Mentor

When someone mentors a mentor they think motivation and encouragement. I've been asked plenty of times to be a mentor or be of guidance to someone to help them in their literary career. Having a mentor is a great plus through out your career.


A mentor is someone that's been there done that and is wise on the subject you are into. They can guide you and give you first hand advice on the subject because they've experienced it.


A mentor doesn't costs a thing. The person is only offering their time, advice and care to help you. I believe having a mentor in the writing business is helpful.


If you are someone that is looking to get into publishing, like me-I'm looking to start my own publishing company, finding someone that is already established in the field can help you. Find someone that you know is willing to help. Someone that you know you can rely on and won't get upset at all the questions.


Most importantly, you need to know how to take advice and criticism. Remember this person had been there done that. They know how things work. You need to have a good listening ear and absorb all that you can.
