Become a Rooted Writer
Joining the Mentorship is a two-step process:
1. Complete an inquiry form. The inquiry is only five questions and will help us determine whether completing the application is the right next step. The questions only take a minute or two, so don't sweat it. You'll either receive the application in your inbox or I'll share some stellar resources to check out.
2. Submit an application. Plan to spend about 30-minutes answering these thoughtfully designed questions so we can know whether the Mentorship is a good fit for you. Don’t worry, I'm not determining your worth as a person, just whether the Mentorship vibes with you and vice versa.
Why Do You Have to Apply?
The best thing about the Rooted Writers Mentorship is the community. We work hard to be accountable to each other, explore our own biases, and consider the impact of our work.
Writing, especially when you hold a marginalized identity, is vulnerable as hell. In order for all Rooted Writers to feel safe enough to explore, develop, and share their stories, the alignment of our community is essential.
That's why we have an application process.
I want everyone who joins us to be a “Hell yes! You're one of us!” so we can write toward a world that is more peaceful, equitable, just, and safe.
