The submission window for the AMM Mentee Critique Giveaway closed on Friday, September 22. And this weekend, we drew the winners, pairing them with current AMM mentees! This was done using a random number generator and matching hopefuls with mentees who write or critique in their genre and category.
We had over 100 entries into the giveaway—which is incredible—and 51 critiques available for hopefuls. Almost every mentee offered to give two critiques each because we know the value of giving back to the writing community and our love for this program is limitless. Thank you so much to all those who signed up and have faith in us to help you. It is an honor to work with you all!
What to do now? Mentees should be sending you an e-mail in the next day or three, outlining how to send them your materials and ready to dig in. Please understand, mentees are only required to give you feedback once, and whether or not they are willing to see revisions is up to each individual mentee.
Thank you again for trusting us with your words. Good luck and happy writing!
