Description

A new series begins! πŸ’› Fiona is joined by internationally bestselling author and her very own writing mentor, Hayley Scrivenor, for the first episode in a three-month series all about mentoring. Fiona and Hayley talk about how their professional relationship began, what Hayley really thought when she first read Fiona’s writing 🫣 and the role a mentor can play in helping you reach THE END. If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to have a writing mentor, are thinking about being mentored yourself, or are simply curious about what a mentor actually does, this series is for you ✍️ We’d love to know what you think of the new format and this first episode. And if you have a question you’d like Fiona to ask Hayley, please let us know. πŸ‘‡ π‘‡β„Žπ‘’ π‘Šπ‘œπ‘Ÿπ‘‘ πΆπ‘œπ‘’π‘›π‘‘ 𝑖𝑠 π‘Ž π‘Ÿπ‘’π‘Žπ‘™-𝑙𝑖𝑓𝑒, π‘Ÿπ‘’π‘Žπ‘™-π‘‘π‘–π‘šπ‘’ π‘€π‘Ÿπ‘–π‘‘π‘–π‘›π‘” π‘π‘œπ‘‘π‘π‘Žπ‘ π‘‘ π‘“π‘œπ‘™π‘™π‘œπ‘€π‘–π‘›π‘” π΄π‘’π‘ π‘‘π‘Ÿπ‘Žπ‘™π‘–π‘Žπ‘› π‘€π‘Ÿπ‘–π‘‘π‘’π‘Ÿπ‘  π‘œπ‘› π‘‘β„Žπ‘’ π‘Ÿπ‘œπ‘Žπ‘‘ π‘“π‘Ÿπ‘œπ‘š π‘π‘™π‘Žπ‘›π‘˜ π‘π‘Žπ‘”π‘’ π‘‘π‘œ π‘π‘’π‘π‘™π‘–π‘ β„Žπ‘’π‘‘ π‘π‘œπ‘œπ‘˜ β€” π‘Žπ‘›π‘‘ π‘’π‘£π‘’π‘Ÿπ‘¦π‘‘β„Žπ‘–π‘›π‘” 𝑖𝑛 𝑏𝑒𝑑𝑀𝑒𝑒𝑛. π½π‘œπ‘–π‘› πΉπ‘–π‘œπ‘›π‘Ž π‘‡π‘Žπ‘¦π‘™π‘œπ‘Ÿ, π½π‘œ 𝐷𝑖π‘₯π‘œπ‘› π‘Žπ‘›π‘‘ π½π‘Žπ‘π‘ž πΈπ‘™π‘™π‘’π‘š π‘Žπ‘  π‘‘β„Žπ‘’π‘¦ π‘ β„Žπ‘Žπ‘Ÿπ‘’ π‘‘β„Žπ‘’π‘–π‘Ÿ π‘€π‘Ÿπ‘–π‘‘π‘–π‘›π‘” π‘π‘Ÿπ‘œπ‘”π‘Ÿπ‘’π‘ π‘ , 𝑠𝑒𝑑 π‘”π‘œπ‘Žπ‘™π‘  π‘Žπ‘›π‘‘ π‘˜π‘’π‘’π‘ π‘’π‘Žπ‘β„Ž π‘œπ‘‘β„Žπ‘’π‘Ÿ π‘Žπ‘π‘π‘œπ‘’π‘›π‘‘π‘Žπ‘π‘™π‘’, π‘Žπ‘™π‘œπ‘›π‘”π‘ π‘–π‘‘π‘’ π‘ π‘π‘’π‘π‘–π‘Žπ‘™ π‘’π‘π‘–π‘ π‘œπ‘‘π‘’π‘  π‘€β„Žπ‘’π‘Ÿπ‘’ πΉπ‘–π‘œπ‘›π‘Ž π‘‘π‘Žπ‘™π‘˜π‘  π‘€π‘–π‘‘β„Ž π‘Žπ‘’π‘‘β„Žπ‘œπ‘Ÿπ‘  π‘Žπ‘›π‘‘ π‘–π‘›π‘‘π‘’π‘ π‘‘π‘Ÿπ‘¦ 𝑔𝑒𝑒𝑠𝑑𝑠 π‘Žπ‘π‘œπ‘’π‘‘ π‘€π‘Ÿπ‘–π‘‘π‘–π‘›π‘”, π‘π‘’π‘π‘™π‘–π‘ β„Žπ‘–π‘›π‘” π‘Žπ‘›π‘‘ π‘‘β„Žπ‘’ π‘Ÿπ‘œπ‘Žπ‘‘ π‘‘π‘œ 𝑇𝐻𝐸 𝐸𝑁𝐷. πΈπ‘Žπ‘ π‘¦-π‘‘π‘œ-𝑙𝑖𝑠𝑑𝑒𝑛-π‘‘π‘œ π‘’π‘π‘–π‘ π‘œπ‘‘π‘’π‘  π‘œπ‘“ π‘Žπ‘Ÿπ‘œπ‘’π‘›π‘‘ 30 π‘šπ‘–π‘›π‘’π‘‘π‘’π‘  πŸ’›
