We’re looking for unpublished and unagented writers for this one, only. That said, we’ll still ask you to add some writing materials to your application as mentors will want to know your work before choosing to pair with you.Īpplications will be via a short form where you state why mentoring would help you, and attach a standard submission package for your work: letter, synopsis, 3 chapters OR letter and Picture Book.
Please do read the post linked above, to fully understand the ethos of the new programme – it’s now a mentoring focus rather than an editorial one. Mentoring period: 1st May – undefined (this is where the flexibility comes in – we suggest a period of less than 12 months in total – though you may want to make it 6 or 9, or extend it further – the only stipulation is about 6 hours of time via email/calls over the year and a reminder that mentors are volunteering, so no unrealistic demands upon them or their time). Mentee application window: Weds 12th-Fri 14th April. Mort the Meek and the Perilous Prophecy is released in the UK on January 5th 2023.Mentor chats on Twitter: Mon/Tues 10/11th April 7-9pm DROP-IN (mentors will attend for an hour during this window), so simply post your questions using #WriteMentor and they’ll get to them during this period. Or are they hearts? You'll have to read it to find out.Ī huge thanks to NetGalley and Little Tiger for allowing me a review copy. Meanwhile, the Queen remains as brutal and unpredictable as ever, reminding me very much of The Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland. With the important message of friendship over fighting, this is young fiction at its best - full of quips, quirks, hapless heroes, monsters, bulging biceps and.er.tomatoes. The island of Bonrock, with girls Genia and Vita, is a fabulous contrast to Brutalia and introduces readers to the wider world around the island. Rachel Delahaye's plot is canny and clever and the writing is as deliciously funny as the soup. Brutalia remains a ghastly, grim and grotty place to live but Mort is as determined as ever to promote peace and harmony over fury and fighting. Is there any way he can prevent a war?įull of puns, punches and problems, this is possibly my favourite of the three stories. But when he discovers that this perfect paradise is hiding something terrifying, it seems the soup sayer was right all along. Volunteering to investigate with his best friend Weed, Mort sets out to visit the tropical island.
But pacifist Mort believes this could be a chance to make new friends. When the Queen's new soup sayer warns of a new enemy - the inhabitants of an island called Bonrock - Brutalia's best battlers prepare for a bust-up. Brilliantly brutal and totally bonkers, this hilarious series is perfect for brightening a dull January.
Mort the Meek is back again as he sets off on a third quest into unexplored waters.
