The past month has been a whirlwind as we worked through your incredible submissions! You’ll see some pairs decided to also take an individual mentee, some mentors decided to also pair up, and some took more than one. We were just too blown away by your work to stick to the plan!

We are so sad to announce that, due to personal circumstances, Annika Sharma is no longer able to participate as a mentor this year. It was a hard call, but the right one for her to make, and we support her 100%

And we were all so excited to see such a wide diversity in our genres! Contemporary romance/rom coms were still the majority, but we love seeing so many other genres and concepts!

Every application we've received has been such high quality, and it breaks our hearts that we won't be able to offer a spot to every single one of you. But if you DON'T get selected, please know that it isn't because of your story or your writing ability✨
